Visiting WCFA

- Telephone
- (731) 254-9400 ext. 40821
- Booking hours
- Saturday-Wednesday, 7 a.m.-4 p.m.

Approval, identification and minors
TDOC requires an approved application for every visitor, including children. Use the adult and minor application guides, bring approved photo identification, and confirm parent or legal-guardian documentation for minors. WCFA may add CoreCivic-specific screening rules.

Current session timetable
The production listing publishes the WCFA appointment contact but not a unit-by-unit visiting timetable. Confirm the current session and check-in cutoff directly before traveling.

Check the date on facility instructions
CoreCivic's live facility page still links a visitor/contact PDF published February 2013. Do not treat its older timetable, mail address or payment directions as current. Use the scheduling contact above and the newer mail/payment instructions below.

Phone calls & video
Select the correct account type before adding credit.
AdvancePay and PIN Debit
CoreCivic's currently linked ViaPath flyer lists ConnectNetwork for account services. AdvancePay, PIN Debit and Trust are separate payment selections; ask support which account fits the intended use.
A phone-payment option does not establish video-visiting availability. Confirm the actual facility's video service, approval and appointment before paying for a session.

Mail, photographs & packages
Personal letters, privileged mail, books and packages follow different routes.
Address ordinary personal mail for scanning
TDOC moved personal mail to centralized scanning on November 3, 2025. Include your return name and address and clearly label the identification number TDOC ID#. Photos are scanned too; inappropriate images are not delivered. Reading scanned mail does not cost the recipient anything.

Choose plain cards and permitted photographs
- Do not enclose Polaroid-type photos, cash, checks or money orders.
- Avoid homemade items and layered, decorated or musical cards.
- Do not send original irreplaceable photos: physical personal mail is retained for up to 90 days, then destroyed.

Legal correspondence and books
Privileged correspondence—including attorney and court mail—continues to the institution, not the personal-mail scanning center. Confirm the institution's correct legal-mail addressing with the sender.
Order books and other printed material directly from a publisher or recognized commercial distributor. Check the actual seller: a third-party marketplace seller may not qualify. Material remains subject to the prison's content restrictions.

Approved property and commissary packages
Packages must come from an approved contract vendor, not a box packed at home. Eligibility and quantity depend on custody level and disciplinary restrictions. Confirm eligibility before paying.
The Tennessee Union Supply website now directs TDOC adult and CoreCivic package orders to CorrectPay. Select the correct facility and recipient there; a package order is separate from a trust-account deposit.

Money & commissary
Trust deposits and phone credit are different account types.
Current CoreCivic deposit instructions
The money-transfer flyer linked from CoreCivic's Tennessee facility pages directs trust deposits through ConnectNetwork. Its telephone trust line is (888) 988-4768, using site ID 103. Confirm the facility, recipient and final fee before submitting payment.
Older facility PDFs describe JPay. Use the current operator-linked instructions and confirm any disagreement with support; do not mail money to the personal-letter scanning address.
