TN DOC – South Central Correctional Facility (SCCF) – CoreCivic basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 931-676-5372
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at South Central Correctional located at 555 Forest Ave in Clifton, TN are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
South Central Correctional Facility is a medium-security private prison with the capacity to house 1,700 adult male inmates. This facility is currently run by the private company CoreCivic under a contract with the Tennessee Department of Correction. Inmates at this facility can receive substance abuse treatment through the Residential Drug Abuse Program. Work programs, medical, dental and mental health treatment is available to all inmates. Inmates here are given the opportunity to take adult basic education, literacy courses, and earn a GED during their incarceration. Inmates can also take career management for success courses which help train and prepare inmates for obtaining a job once they are released. Vocational training opportunities here include landscaping, information technology, carpentry, plumbing, and masonry.
Within the first two weeks of arrival at a CoreCivic correctional facility, every inmate will attend the facility’s orientation program and receive a copy of the facility’s inmate handbook.
The inmate handbook includes all the information an inmate needs to start a productive life inside the facility and remain connected with family or lawyers.
A few handbook topics include:
• Requesting a medical appointment/available medical services
• Religious services
• Educational programs
• Recreation
• Commissary and creating an account
• Hygiene and grooming expectations
• Facility schedule
• Visitation information and schedule
Orientation and the inmate handbook ensure that inmates in our care can immediately address any concerns or questions and begin to participate in the programs and services offered at our facility.
