I-Team explores connection between Judge Moreland and halfway houses

WSMV Channel 4

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - The Channel 4 I-Team has learned that a member of the Davidson County General Sessions Drug Court treatment team also runs eight halfway houses where judges send defendants for court-ordered treatment.

The halfway houses are owned by a non-profit, which on paper, is exceeding its projected budget thanks in part to rent paid by clients sent by the court.

The eight halfway houses are on Harrington Avenue in Madison.

Most houses have eight residents each. The clients are primarily people with drug or alcohol charges who were sent there by a judge.

Before Judge Casey Moreland stepped aside from his duties as general sessions’ drug court judge, this is where some of the people he sentenced ended up.

The houses are owned or operated by a non-profit called Recovery Community, Inc. Lyn Noland is the executive director.
