Written by a former DJRC inmate with three years of lived experience at the facility, this guide provides step‑by‑step instructions to help families set up and use the main communication systems involved in staying in touch. It walks you through getting started with phone accounts, tablet services, JPay, and related accounts, so you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

This guide:

• Is specific to DJRC in Tennessee
• Is based on direct, first‑hand experience
• Gives families clear, step‑by‑step setup guidance for phone, tablet, and related accounts (including GTL, tablet messaging, JPay, and trust account funding)
• Is designed to reduce confusion for families who are new to the system

About the formats:

• The digital versions (Kindle/eBook/EPUB) include interactive features such as clickable links to websites and resources, tap‑to‑call phone numbers, and an interactive table of contents for quick navigation.
