41 INDICTMENTS ISSUED FOR TROUSDALE TURNER RIOT

The Trousdale County Grand Jury issued 41 indictments for crimes at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, with 12 specifically tied to a riot that occurred on June 8, 2025, as reported by WSMV. The riot began when a large group of inmates left their cells, becoming disruptive and confrontational in the inner yard, damaging equipment, compromising security cameras, setting small fires, and ignoring staff commands, according to CoreCivic, the private company managing the facility.
During the incident, one correctional officer was attacked, requiring hospital treatment but was later released. District Attorney Jason Lawson noted that these indictments, which include the riot’s key leaders, are only the initial batch due to the short preparation time, with more expected as investigators continue reviewing footage and identifying additional participants.
