The Tennessee Department of Correction is asking Gov. Bill Haslam’s administration to fund a 5 percent pay increase for all correctional officers, probation and parole officers and inmate relations coordinators. The Tennessean estimates an $8.3 million price tag for the pay increase. "If we were funded for this, this would push us up to about number three with the surrounding states," said Department Commissioner Derrick Schofield.
