Dismas House | Nashville

The mission of Dismas House is to transform lives and strengthen communities by providing the formerly incarcerated with holistic reentry solutions. The vision is to set the national standard for reentry success.

Dismas House is a Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) approved residential reentry program that serves men returning to the community from Tennessee prisons and county jails. Our campus includes 56 reentry beds in double-occupancy bedrooms.To complete the reentry program, residents must remain on campus for a minimum of 90 days. There is no maximum length of stay. Through a family-like environment and holistic services, we aim to support our residents as they navigate the challenging transition into society from incarceration.

Under our four pillars of programming - Basic Needs, Health & Well-being, Life Skills, and Legal Support, residents receive a wide array of services that are offered by Dismas House staff or through collaborations with external service providers.
