Debra Johnson Rehab Center

Visiting at Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center starts with Tennessee's Visitor Application (CR‑2152). You'll need to submit the form with a current photograph and a street address (P.O. Box addresses aren't allowed). The facility processes your application and enters it into the offender management system. You won't be admitted until you're approved. An inmate's approved visiting list can include all immediate family members plus up to eight additional adults. One limited exception exists: immediate family of newly committed inmates may be temporarily added for up to 60 days while the CR‑2152 is processed. Final approval is at the Warden/Superintendent's discretion. Inmates are usually notified within about 30 days. Denied applicants receive reasons for the denial and can appeal through the grievance procedure.

Phone communication at Debra Johnson Rehab Center runs through ConnectNetwork (GTL). The per-minute call rate dropped to 7.5 cents effective July 1, 2024. You can't call an inmate directly. Under TDOC practice, inbound telephone calls are not permitted. If there's a family emergency, the facility chaplain may be able to help facilitate an outbound call. Each inmate can have up to ten phone numbers on an approved calling list, and any changes must be requested by the inmate through their unit team. For most families, the practical step is setting up an account with ConnectNetwork and adding funds in advance through the vendor portal, app, or kiosk, depending on what's available.

Sending money to someone at Debra Johnson Rehab Center is straightforward once you pick the right deposit method. You can add funds through in-person kiosks, approved online portals or apps, automated phone systems, and certain trustee or tax office channels (availability varies). Keep in mind that commissary and trust funds for store purchases are managed separately from phone and video visit credits, which may go through different vendor platforms. Most electronic deposits run through third-party processors, and any convenience or processing fees are shown during checkout. To avoid delays, search by the person's full name plus a facility identifier (such as an ID number or birthdate) and keep your receipt. Phone service runs through ConnectNetwork (GTL), with a per-minute rate of 7.5¢ effective July 1, 2024.
