- Judge orders State of Tennessee to take custody of nearly 150 inmates from Davidson County jails
A Davidson County Chancery Court judge ordered the Tennessee Department of Corrections to take custody of 149 state inmates from Davidson County jails within 10 days. Metro Nashville cited overcrowding, safety concerns, and financial costs, noting the city has spent over $5 million due to delayed transfers. The court ruled TDOC has a legal duty to accept inmates after sentencing paperwork and a 14-day period.
