Education checks and notices for Tennessee inmates
Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee’s Department of Correction must assess people’s education at intake for felony confinement and at least annually afterward. Annual checks also cover people already serving felony confinement on or after that date. Assessments collect their highest grade or education level and interest in continuing, completing, or advancing their education. Eligible people serving felony confinement must receive notice of available education programs within 90 days after their assessment. Notices must be written, or electronic when feasible. The law does not guarantee enrollment or provide dedicated funding.
