NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â The Davidson County jail is expanding its horticulture program thanks to a big donation.
The sheriff s office wants the program to be about teaching inmates life lessons and skills they can use once they ve been released. They also hope to change public perception of what s happening behind the jail s walls. It s not just bad smells and bars, we also have flowers and plants, said Jason Weber, the Horticulture Program Councilor for the Davidson County Sheriff s Office.
