CDC-F Davidson County Releases
CDC-F houses locally sentenced and pretrial women in minimum, medium, and maximum security classifications. A departure may be community release, movement to another DCSO unit, or transfer to TDOC. The facility's Harding Place address does not create a separate release database.
Use DCSO's release date and disposition. FOIL applies only when state custody or supervision follows. A county release paired with TDOC incarceration describes a transfer, not contradictory records.
Confirm CDC-F Release Status
Start with the county source because CDC-F is a county jail, not a TDOC prison. The DCSO Recent Bookings page covers admissions in a rolling 48-hour span and includes a release-date column.
- Search recent bookings and match name, birth date, and control number.
- Open Details and read facility, admission, booking, charge, sentence, and release fields.
- If absent, call 615-862-8123 for current and released offender information.
- Ask for release date, disposition, and receiving custodian.
- Request “Incarceration Date (Release Papers)” for documentation.
- Compare the Criminal Court Clerk docket when the court event matters.
The Davidson County release search covers state, federal, and immigration follow-up when the CDC-F record shows a transfer.
CDC-F Release Records Contact
CDC-F.s Harding Place address is useful for identifying the facility, but release-record service is centralized. The Offender Information Center handles current and released offender calls around the clock. The separate records center accepts documentary requests during weekday hours.

Use the DCSO request channel and give the name, approximate dates, control number or OCA, and exact record sought. No fee or turnaround is promised on that page, so request an estimate.
CDC-F Custody Profile
DCSO describes CDC-F as a county facility for locally sentenced and pretrial women, with capacity for 252 people across minimum, medium, and maximum classifications. Capacity is not a current population or release count.
A move between classification levels or DCSO units is not a discharge. Read the current facility field and request movement history when the path matters.
CDC-F Pretrial Release Records
Some women at CDC-F remain pretrial. A bond or recognizance release ends the jail hold while the criminal case continues. The DCSO release time should be paired with the filed docket and current bond conditions.
DCSO warns that online bond figures can change. A court order may precede administrative release steps, so court and jail timestamps need not match. Use the clerk record for the case event and DCSO for physical custody.
CDC-F Release Property
DCSO guidance says ordinary clothing worn to jail is inventoried and stored, and the property receipt should be kept. Property can be released to a family member under the stated process. Remaining commissary money is issued on a debit card at release.
Property clerks check the active JMS release list, confirm identity by fingerprint or mugshot, obtain signatures, and record the handoff. Property may go to the released person or the next law-enforcement custodian. That last option is another reason release processing does not always mean return to the community.
CDC-F Immigration Transfers
A DCSO release can be a transfer to immigration custody. A historic ICE agreement names the former Davidson County Jail at a different address, but old facility names and agreements do not establish current custody. Check the DCSO disposition first, then use the ICE locator when a transfer is recorded.
An empty ICE result is not conclusive. Agency updates, spelling, identifiers, and custody stage can affect results. Report the DCSO event and the separate ICE check without merging them.
CDC-F Facility Name Changes
Davidson's jail names changed in 2020 when DDC opened, Hill Detention Center closed, MCC populations moved, and a former annex was repurposed for women. Legacy lists can point to a closed or renamed building.
Use the current DCSO detail's facility field and current individual facility pages. When a requested record uses an older name, include the dates and control number so staff can match the same custody episode.
CDC-F County Release Route
CDC-F does not maintain a separate public release feed. DCSO's common booking system and records office control the county release record. Recent Bookings may show a release date for a qualifying recent admission, while older episodes require the information line or release papers.
Call 615-862-8123 with the name, birth date, approximate dates, and control number. Ask for release date, disposition, and receiving custodian. The facility phone, 615-862-8187, identifies CDC-F, but centralized DCSO release information is the better status route.
CDC-F to TDOC Transfers
A woman can leave CDC-F through a community release or a transfer into state custody. Use TDOC FOIL only when a felony state sentence, prison transfer, parole, or probation follows. The Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center is a separate TDOC facility in Nashville and does not use the county roster.
A DCSO release time paired with FOIL incarceration means the county episode ended and state custody began. Read FOIL's status and assigned location literally. A future eligibility date does not prove physical release.
CDC-F Release Record Fields
The DCSO detail can include control number, facility, admission, arrest booking, final booking, release date, active charges, and sentencing information. These fields identify one county custody episode. They do not always establish why custody ended.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Control number | Links search, phone, and records request. |
| Facility | Confirms the recorded CDC-F assignment. |
| Release date | Shows when DCSO closed the episode. |
| Disposition | Separates community release and transfer. |
| Charge or sentence | Helps locate the matching court file. |
Use the Criminal Court Clerk docket for the legal event. A court order and physical release timestamp may differ because DCSO must complete administrative processing.
CDC-F Sentence Completion Records
Locally sentenced women may leave when the judgment and DCSO's official computation authorize release. Tennessee law permits local sentence credits in qualifying cases, but no DCSO public calculator or local policy supports a reliable personal estimate.
Request the sentence computation and release paper. Compare jail credit, the judgment, and any other hold. Do not calculate a CDC-F release by adding a fixed term to the admission date.
Request CDC-F Release Papers
Select “Incarceration Date (Release Papers)” on the DCSO request form when it fits. Provide the woman's full name, approximate dates, and control number or OCA. Ask for disposition, destination, and movement history when a transfer is possible.
DCSO does not publish a fixed fee or response time on the page, so request an estimate. The centralized records center is open on weekdays. The 24/7 information line is the timely route for current or released-offender confirmation.
Match CDC-F Court Records
For pretrial women, bond or recognizance ends the jail hold but leaves the case pending. For locally sentenced women, the judgment and DCSO computation govern the county term. The Criminal Court Clerk docket supplies the legal event, while DCSO supplies the physical release time.
Do not treat an arrest charge on the jail detail as a final disposition. Compare the episode with filed court entries and ask which hold controlled the release when more than one case appears.
Confirm CDC-F Release Completion
No fixed daily release hour is published. Call before traveling and ask if processing is complete. Record the DCSO release time and disposition, then check FOIL only if state custody or supervision follows.
CDC-F Property Handoff
DCSO guidance says ordinary clothing is inventoried and a property receipt should be kept. Remaining commissary funds are issued on a debit card at release. Staff verify identity and may give property to the released woman or a receiving law-enforcement custodian. That second route can identify a transfer rather than a return to the community. Ask DCSO who received the property when the release destination is unclear. Keep that answer with the release paper and court record for the same episode.
Match CDC-F Release Identities
Compare name, birth date, control number, admission date, and facility before relying on a record. Similar names can refer to different women. The control number links the online detail to DCSO calls, release papers, and movement history.
If the latest facility field no longer says CDC-F, ask whether the woman moved within DCSO or transferred to TDOC. A changed location is not proof of community release. Keep the date and time of every search because the operational record can change. When aliases or dates conflict, request staff confirmation rather than selecting the closest name. Record the source of the correction.
