Again, I am asking for the most recent version of whichever the state has, a general inmate handbook for women or inmate handbooks specific to the women's state prisons (Bledsoe County Correctional Complex, Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, and the Women’s Therapeutic Residential Center at the West Tennessee State Penitentiary).
