The main facility is low security while the work release residents are minimum security.

The Educational/Work Release program, operated by the Nashville/Davidson County Sheriff’s Office from the Offender Re-Entry Center, offers inmates the opportunity to secure gainful employment or continue their educational or vocational training. This program is designed to enhance community protection by providing offenders with opportunities to change both themselves and the conditions that led to their incarceration. Participants can provide financial support to their dependents or save money for their release. The program also fosters personal responsibility and self-respect through self-support and personal achievements.

The Offender Re-Entry Center creates an environment that promotes positive social behavior through mentoring, employment, programs, and counseling. Inmates who demonstrate successful participation in the Work Release program may qualify for the Day Reporting program, allowing them to live at home and continue working in the community. This transition helps to reduce the jail population while ensuring continued rehabilitation.

The target population for the program includes adult offenders sentenced to at least 30 days and up to 18 months in the sheriff's custody, probation violators, DUI first offenders, and child support enforcement violators. To qualify for consideration, inmates must be in the custody of the Nashville/Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, be within one year of their projected release date (excluding any sentence reduction credits for felony convictions), meet all sentencing percentage requirements, and have no outstanding warrants, wants, holds, or pending charges. Additionally, they must have documented verifiable employment or be willing to seek employment within 30 days of approval, and have reliable transportation to and from the workplace, as inmates are not permitted to drive to or from the Offender Re-Entry Center. The screening process includes a review of the inmate’s criminal history, physical and mental health, substance abuse, employment, and educational history. Most inmates in the Work Release program are placed at a judge’s recommendation.

To apply, inmates or their representatives can contact Work Release Manager Tomika Hicks at (615) 880-3898 ext. 76343.
