Inmate Dies at Tennessee CoreCivic Facility Trousdale Turner Correctional Center
The U.S. Department of Justice is now investigating Tennessee’s largest prison after years of complaints by inmates, their families, staff and activists. Those include allegations that inmate gangs essentially run Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, and that they allegedly extort money from inmates' families to insure their loved ones' safety behind prison walls.
One woman in Middle Tennessee has been trying to understand how her brother died, after she paid money to other inmates to get him into drug treatment. She’s convinced the extortion money meant to facilitate his recovery instead bought the so-called “hot shot” of drugs that killed him. CoreCivic, which runs the prison, refused an interview but did respond to questions about drug treatment.

    I think nashville is the goto place to "end it all" for young folks. Like the Natchez trace bridge was. I dont even like dowtown in the daytime in the last 15 years they just walk out in front of you as you get right up on them, AND the "no walk" is on. If yer reflexes are slow, then it's dangerous to be a driver, and i mostly do DAYLIGHT TRIPS.

    Thanks for doing this. Would have loved to have seen some comparison data with other similar airports. I’m a regular flyer at BNA and have long felt there is a problem with over-service and too much of a focus about alcohol in general at a place, and in a system, where really people should be sober. It sure is possible there is a correlation between drinking and the increase in unruly behavior we have seen on aircraft recently. Nervous, anxious, stressed passengers plus a terminal awash in booze can’t be a healthy mix.

    At the time of the attempt, Moore was 45 years old, divorced 5 times and had 4 children. She was said to have an obsessive fascination with Patty Hearst. At her sentencing she was remorseful only in that her life was ruined but said that the shooting was a proper expression of her anger. Here she said she rejected Ford's presidency because he wasn't elected, but in the past she indicated she wanted to spark a violent revolution. She did later say that she regretted the attempt and that she was "blinded by her radical political views."

    There is a metal bridge where the Collins River flows into the Caney Fork River in Warren County. It sits beside its modern replacement between the small community of Rock Island and Rock Island State Park. The bridge was re-erected by the Nashville Bridge Company in 1923-1924. The bridge had previously been in Nashville and spanned the Cumberland River (ref: The Caney Fork of the Cumberland by Arthur Weir Crouch, page 30). I've never seen anything that says the bridge was built by the Nashville Bridge Company, but multiple sources say it was re-erected by the company after the Great Falls dam was raised 35 feet in the mid-1920s. It is another unappreciated historic bridge that sits aging and unused. There are many other examples of bridges, roads, and buildings owned by the State that represent a part of our past that are in desperate need of preservation. It is a shame that instead of repairing, maintaining, and showing off our heritage the state chooses to neglect, ignore and destroy it.
