The Hill Detention Center is a low/medium-security detention center located at 506 2nd Ave N Nashville, TN which is operated locally by the Davidson County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Davidson County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Nashville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Tennessee here.

The Hill Detention Center is located adjacent to the administrative offices of the Nashville Sheriff. This facility is the intake point for all arrestees in Davidson County. Inmates who remain in custody after 48 hours are classified for housing and custody levels. Inmates housed at the Hill Detention Center are Pre-trial males with custody levels of maximum, medium and special needs (medical, mental health). Female arrestees are booked and transferred to the Metro Detention Facility.

The HDC has a housing capacity of 356, but is also divided into two sections. HD1 is comprised of dormitory style cells ranging from 26 to 50 man units. HD2 is considered as the Booking Unit.
