How to send messages, photos, and packages
Hardeman County Corrections only allows outbound calls. The Tennessee Department of Correction does not permit inbound telephone calls except in a verified family emergency, when the facility chaplain may help facilitate contact. Phone service runs through GTL/ConnectNetwork, and the per-minute rate dropped to $0.075 (7.5 cents) effective July 1, 2024. Each inmate can have up to ten approved phone numbers, and calls only go to numbers on that list. If you want to be removed from an inmate's approved list, submit a written request to the facility warden or superintendent. To fund calls, you can send money directly to Global Tel*Link at its Denver address or set up a ConnectNetwork/AdvancePay account for prepaid credits and e-messages. Keep in mind that vendor-managed calls and messages are generally subject to monitoring.
