Programs For Inmates

Dog Training Program
Since 2012, the Retrieving Independence Serving With Canines program has partnered with Turney Center Industrial Complex to train offenders to raise and train service dogs for people with mobility disabilities, seizure disorders and diabetes.
Puppies enter the prison when they are 4 months old to live with offenders/trainers until they are ready to go to their new homes. This process takes around 18 months. Once they arrive at the prison, they begin intensive training to become service dogs.
They are taught standard obedience skills as well as specialized assistance skills. By the end of the program, the service dogs know at least 110 cues and have received more than 600 hours of training. Between 12 and 16 months, the dogs are matched with a recipient. Once a match has been made, the offenders begin the process of working with the service dog on specific skills needed by the recipient.
Once the service dog has completed the training, Retrieving Independence conducts a 10-day team training camp for the matched recipient, family members and the service dog. This camp centers around building a relationship and learning the skills and cues which have been taught to the service dog. They are certified for public access before leaving the program.
The program provides success, accomplishments and skills to offenders that may be useful after their release. Through this program, the offender/trainers are able to give back to society and the recipients of the dogs are able to enjoy an increased independence.
Parole Technical Violators Diversion Program
Under this program, a parolee who has violated the conditions of his parole, but not committed a new felony, can have their parole revoked and granted in the same action. The grant (release on parole supervision) is contingent upon successful completion of a six-month program at the Turney Center Industrial Complex Annex.
Under the Parole Technical Violator Diversion Program (PTVDP), violators are transferred from a diagnostic center to the annex. Participants either work on a community service crew or attend GED classes during the day and complete treatment programs in the evening, with no "downtime" during the six-month program.
The community service work crew helps the participant establish good work habits and the treatment programs in the evening address issues such as substance use and cognitive behavior modification. When the violator nears completion of the program, the parole officer is notified that the parolee will be returning to the community and a release plan is prepared.
Candidates for the PTVDP are selected by the Tennessee Board of Parole at a revocation hearing. A Probation Technical Violators Diversion Program is also available at the annex.
