NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) officials announced that inmate visitation will resume next weekend.
TDOC stopped visitations in March of last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But a modified visitation schedule will begin Saturday, April 10.
In order to maintain social distancing guidelines, all visitors will be required to schedule an appointment. Visitors will be required to wear masks, have their temperatures checked and respond to a series of COVID-19 screening questions prior to entry.
All inmates will be required to wear masks during the visits and have their temperatures checked prior to entering the visitation gallery. Hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the area.
“The Tennessee Department of Correction is committed to protecting the safety and well-being of our staff, inmates, visitors and volunteers,” Commissioner Tony Parker said in a press release. “We understand the importance of maintaining contact with family members and we have worked to ensure the lines of communication between inmates and their loved ones remained opened during the pandemic.”
