(WTVF) Many family members with loved ones inside the privately operated Trousdale Turner Correctional Center (TTCC) were shocked to learn more than half of the inmates. Covid-19 has raged throughout U.S. jails and prisons, where people live together in close quarters and there is little opportunity for social distancing, a lack of basic sanitary supplies and high rates of chronic disease. The pandemic has lent impetus to the growing movement to depopulate jails and prisons. TDOC officials said more than 93,000 masks have been distributed to inmates, though it's unclear whether they are reusable or if inmates have access to cleaning supplies to wash them. Department officials say it's been decades since Tennessee has seen such dramatic drops in revenue, but cautioned the numbers do not account for all of April's tax revenue because some tax filing extensions were granted as part of the coronavirus response. TTCC provides a robust reentry and rehabilitation curriculum for offenders, including the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), along with other programs to help offenders recognize and modify negative behavior patterns.
