Because each prison is a little different, I thought those of us with knowledge about phones, mail, visitation, quirky rules, etc. at a certain prison could post in each prison's thread to give new people some much needed information. Please post any information you have about TPW in this thread.

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer, congratulations as well. My sister is 46 (I am 43/female) and she was transferred today from Knox County Jail. I just found her. I am in Knoxville also. We are a very strong christian family that is struggling with the situation. If there is any information/insight you could provide it would be such a blessing. God Bless You for posting. I hope you are still here.

Hi. I'm corresponding with an inmate named Ashlee Sellars. Red-haired woman with thick, black glasses. Do you know her? What's your opinion of her?

cbwallace30 · #9 01-30-2012, 04:14 PM

I know that depending on an inmates security classification (ie...minimum, maximum) determines how often they can receive packages from suppliers. If it's maximum, it's every 6 months. If it's minimum, it's every 3 months.

I'm coming down from Ohio to do ministry in a couple weeks. Where is an inexpensive hotel/motel near (15-20 min) there? Thanks

mztony · #11 04-03-2013, 07:49 PM

Where are you doing your ministry? In Nashville at the TPFW? If so, Alexis Inn & Suites about 7 miles from TPFW but worth it. Just hop right on Briley Pwy from TPFW get off on Opryland or Elm Hill Pike. Anything around the airport/opryland area(find online specials). Also, anywhere Marriott affiliated..Stay away from cheap motels around the Trinity Lane area (slimy) that are closer to the prison.
