Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1400-01-.01 - PREFACE
(1) Under the authority of T.C.A. 41-4-140,
the Tennessee Corrections Institute is required to establish minimum standards
for local jails, lock-ups, workhouses and detention facilities in the state and
conduct an annual inspection of each facility.
(2) Local correctional facilities are the
first step in the handling of the arrested offender and in it he receives his
first impression of the correctional process. His experience in a county jail
or a municipal lock-up facility will be a potent force molding his attitude
toward law enforcement officials, the correctional system and the community
itself.
(3) The Board of Control of
the Tennessee Corrections Institute hopes that in carrying out the
responsibilities of Tennessee Code Annotated41-4-140, avenues of communication
and cohesiveness will be developed with local agencies that will tend to
upgrade the correctional system in the State of Tennessee.
