“The heart of our Correctional Services Center is the labor we provide to the Nashville Community through our Correctional Services Division. Our inmate labor crews save taxpayers and non-profits over $1.5 million annually. Additionally, our hope is to teach inmates valuable vocational tools that will assist them upon release. We must not forget other services provided by the CSD such as maintenance, laundry, warehouse, and fleet management. Without these important contributions, the Sheriff’s Office would cease to operate.” -Sheriff Daron Hall
