Listen "Corrections - A Man's World? Not In Tennessee"

Episode Synopsis

For a long time, corrections, like most divisions of law enforcement, was stereotypically considered to be a 'man's world.' But the women of TDOC are proving not only can women make a career out of corrections, but that they can thrive and lead in this field. We sat down with women who work in the various roles within TDOC including Correctional Officers, Probation Parole Officers, counselors, and nurses, and asked them how they felt about that stereotype, their experiences, and how they've made successful careers within the Tennessee Department of Correction.
