It is a closely guarded secret. Your social security number is private information.

But you might be surprised to know Who could have access to it.

Even state lawmakers are stunned by what we've uncovered.

In a FOX 17 news investigation we found a group of Tennessee inmates with access to your identity.

It is a place wrapped in razor wire where criminals go to serve a sentence.

But inside Tennessee's Prison for Women, there's a room that looks more like an office.

This is a TennCare call center where 30 medium security inmates spend five days a week, answering 2,000 calls a day about health care claims.

This is old news, I’ve known it for at least 3-4 years..just forgot about it.

We can look forward to our Medicare and all medical records being treated the same...cost efforts don’t ya know.

It's now official. The inmates are in fact, running the asylum.

Tennessee has a TennCare Oversight Committee, but what's troubling, its chairman, State Representative Joey Hensley tells FOX 17 News he has never heard of the prison call center, nor has it been discussed at an Oversight meeting in years.

Well, you're more informed that the state is then...

There's no reason to get upset. After all we are just tools of the Elites. Ask and they'll tell you.

Henry Kissinger on "dumb" soldiers. Military men are “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns for foreign policy. ...

If that is their opinion of soldiers imagine where we civilians fit in. Much lower, I'm sure.

This was one of the first things I learned in my masters program, 10 yrs ago. Old news.

It’s good for scaring people who aren’t aware of it, tho.

Anytime I click on a link to read an article at the source and some jacka$$ starts talking in a commercial I did not authorize to play, I immediately click off the link and will never buy what they are hawking. Ever.

It is bad enough the government is run by legal terrorists but to have someone hijack my personal computer???!!!

I read it in one of the state papers, not sure where, either the Commie Appeal or The Oak Ridger.

BTW we also provide a FULL very nice nursery for 1 of the 2 women’s prison, where they care for their newborn’s...at our expense until they are a certain age...and they get over nighters with their other children IF they qualify i.e. good behavior.
