Davidson County Has 1855 Registered Sex Offenders

NASHVILLE, TN — Before kids go trick or treating on Halloween, October is a good time to take stock of who is living nearby. Davidson County has 1855 registered sex offenders listed on the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry.

Because Nashville is home to three of the state's largest prisons — Riverbend and Lois Deberry on Cockrill Bend and the Tennessee Prison for Women across the Cumberland River in Bordeaux — a significant number of Davidson County registrants are incarcerated by the state, with 163 at one of the three facilities, according to the state.

Sheriff's departments and police typically spend the days before Halloween reminding registered sex offenders of the non-contact rules and in the two decades since states began registries, the number of sex crimes against children on Halloween has fallen to virtually zero.
