On May 2, 2022, Tennessee DOC last published a pdf of COVID-related deaths in custody. Today, the site has no data on COVID-related deaths. This follows a major change in March where they stopped reporting nearly all data. See #450 and https://uclacovidbehindbars.org/blog/march22scorecard.

Tennessee saw the sharpest decrease in transparency. The state’s prison system stopped regularly publishing COVID data about both incarcerated people and staff at the end of February; since then, it has only been reporting the number of people in state custody who have died of the virus.
