Soc/CJ 4540: Women & Crime class tour Bledsoe Co. Correctional Complex
The class toured the Bledsoe Co. Correctional Complex, the main intake facility for the state of TN. Students got to speak with the Warden and correctional staff and toured all areas of the prison. They saw the intake and classification areas, housing of all security levels (from minimum to maximum), the medical facility, cafeteria, and education/programming wings. The highlight of the tour was touring the women’s facility which operates on a nearby “campus” adjacent to the main facility. Throughout the tour, students asked questions pertaining to the daily operation of the prison, what it is like to live in prison, and what it is like to work in prison.
