South Central Corrections Facility, TN

Visiting South Central Corrections Facility starts with the TDOC Visitation Application (CR-2152). Submit the form with a current photograph. Once processed, it becomes part of the incarcerated person's institutional record and goes to the warden. The facility runs a background check before adding anyone to the approved visiting list. An inmate's list can include immediate family members plus up to eight additional adults. If a minor is visiting without a custodial parent or legal guardian, you'll need a notarized Parental Consent/Release (CR-2152, page 2). For children, follow the facility's photo instructions carefully since update rules differ for kids age six and older. Only schedule visits after you've been approved through the facility's visitation system or vendor portal.
