Trousdale Turner guards to wear body cameras at privately-run prison
CoreCivic, a private prison company, will pay approximately $350,000 to equip officers with body cameras at Trousdale Turner Correctional Facility, though the delayed pilot program will not start on July 1 and some footage will be exempt from public records. The prison, under a federal civil rights investigation, faces criticism over past incidents, and the state senator overseeing the legislation has extended the program's deadline to ensure compliance.
