Tennessee Prison for Women Transition Center

The Exodus 40-bed female program is a prime example of the department's effort to focus on the rehabilitation of felony offenders.  The transition center utilizes a modified therapeutic community model that promotes awareness, responsibility and accountability.

The transition center program is a three (3) phase approach lasting approximately nine (9) months.  The first phase is assessment and program orientation.  The second phase is main treatment with a focus on community service.  Phase three consists of re-entry preparation with the primary focus on employment, housing and relapse prevention.

Bullet Blue Dot  Annex placement eligible
Bullet Blue Dot  BOPP referred
