Inmate Programs

Below is a listing of the various inmate programs that the DCSO provides. For additional information on inmate programs, visit our facility pages.

Treatment

The Nashville / Davidson County Sheriff's Office provides State Licensed Alcohol and Drug Treatment to offenders housed at the Correctional Development Center.

The New Avenues program is located at the Correctional Development Center-Male (CDM). It is the oldest of our licensed treatment programs, established in 1990. It is a 45-day program to combat the growing problem of substance abuse within the criminal population. Counselors work one-on-one and in aggressive group therapy to prepare inmates to return to society drug-free. This program puts great emphasis on the Re-Entry process, in hopes of bridging the gap from incarceration to successful transition back into society.

S.A.V.E. (Sheriff's Anti-Violence Effort) Program - is a certificated batterer's intervention program. The goals of the program are to:

  • Educate clients on how their behavior has affected those around them, how their behavior is harmful, and the lasting impact that the behavior has.
  • Educate clients how to learn from past events and the benefits of changing their behavior.
  • Educate clients on how to identify abusive behavior, and learning new/non-harmful ways of expressing emotions and thoughts.
  • Educate clients on about accepting responsibility and accountability for actions

SAVE for the incarcerated offender is six weeks in length and located at CDM. The DRP SAVE program has two available tracks. Track one is 26 weeks in length and track two is 52 weeks length

Second Chances (Offender Dog Program) - The vision on Second Chances is to provide our female offenders with the skills needed to redefine both their lives and the lives of the rescued animals. The offenders will learn to socialize the dogs to prepare them for adoption into permanent homes.

We are proud to partner this program with Bonaparte's Retreat. A non-profit dog rescue program founded in 2004 by Grammy winning singer/songwriter Emmylou Harris. www.bonapartesretreat.org

"The dogs get a second chance to thrive in a loving and safe environment, and our offenders receive a second chance to demonstrate a positive impact in society." -Sheriff Daron Hall

Education Program (Adults) - The Sheriff is arresting the problem of illiteracy and creating solutions to create productive citizens through education after release. The academic learning centers (HDC, CDM, MCC, ORC, CCA and MSE) at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office offer Adult Education, Vocation and Post-Secondary Education. The education programs have defined goals and strategies that measure success. Students work on basic to advanced educational programs; such as beginning literacy, English as a Second Language (ESL), High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) program, vocational aptitude testing, and Microsoft Office skills. A diagnostic test is given to determine the level of each learner prior to starting classes. Materials are provided in Spanish and English.

The academic learning centers primary focus is to offer participants who did not complete their traditional high school experience an opportunity to obtain a high school equivalency diploma. The HiSET program is compatible to the current professional development materials used for high school equivalency assessment and covers five core areas:

  • Language Arts – Reading
  • Language Arts – Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Social Studies

The current HiSET exam is aligned to and measures the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education (OCTAE) College and Career Readiness Standards. Classes are open to participants who request referral through their Case Manager’s, instructors and/or community leaders. When they are prepared to take the official HiSET examination, extra sessions are provided. All of the Sheriff’s Education Coordinators are well qualified. Each instructor has a bachelor’s degree and correctional experience.

Work Release - The Educational/Work Release program operated by the Nashville / Davidson County Sheriff's Office, out of the Offender Re-Entry Center, provides inmates in the program the opportunity to be gainfully employed, or to continue in educational or vocational training. The program is designed to increase community protection by providing offenders with the opportunity to change themselves and those conditions that brought them to jail. Participants will have the opportunity to provide financial aid to their dependents, or to accumulate financial savings for use upon release. Participation in the program will increase awareness of personal responsibilities, and teach self-respect that comes from self-support and personal accomplishments.

The Offender Re-Entry Center provides a setting promoting positive social behavior through mentoring, employment, programs, and counseling. Work Release participants who have demonstrated successful participating while at the Offender Re-Entry Center may qualify for the Day Reporting program. This program allows the inmate to live at home and continue to work in the community. It serves to reduce the jail population.

Outside Work Program - The Offender Re-Entry Center's Outside Work Program provides offender labor to several agencies including non-profit and Metro Government. The services provided are janitorial, landscaping, minor maintenance, and roadside cleanup, to name a few.
