How to Send Mail to Someone at Debra K. Johnson Rehab Center (DJRC)
Want your letter to reach someone at Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center (DJRC)? The address format matters. TDOC routes inmate mail through a centralized P.O. box — use the wrong address and your letter could be delayed or never arrive.
As of November 3, 2025, all mail for inmates at DJRC must go to a centralized processing address: P.O. BOX 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Send your letter to the prison's street address instead and it won't be processed correctly - which means delays.
- Write the inmate’s committed (legal) name - Use the name TDOC has on file for them.
- Add the TDOC ID number - Put their TDOC identification number on the address so staff can match the mail to the right person.
- Use the required mailing address - Address the envelope to:
- Inmate Committed First and Last Name
- TDOC ID #
- P.O. BOX 247
- Phoenix, MD 21131
Note: If the name/TDOC ID is missing or the envelope is sent to the wrong address, your mail can be delayed or rejected.
DJRC's street address is 3881 Stewarts Lane, Nashville, TN 37243-0468, and you can reach the facility by phone at (615) 741-1255. Use these for questions or general contact - but not for mailing letters. Inmate mail still needs to go to the Phoenix, MD P.O. box.
Return Address
- ✓ Put your full name in the return-address area.
- ✓ Put your complete return mailing address on the envelope (mail without a return name and address doesn’t meet TDOC’s requirements).
Common Mistakes
- ✓ Leaving off the inmate’s TDOC ID number.
- ✓ Mailing the letter to DJRC’s Nashville street address instead of P.O. BOX 247 in Phoenix, MD.
- ✓ Forgetting to include your return name and return address on the envelope.
Tip: Don’t rely on a nickname. Use the inmate’s committed (legal) name and include the TDOC ID number.
Not sure which name to use? Call DJRC at (615) 741-1255 before you send anything. It's the fastest way to confirm details and avoid having your letter returned.
