Tenn. Inmate Designs Sheriff's Dept. Holiday Greeting Card
By Associated Press
Published: 11/08/2002

Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall's department will be sending out Christmas cards designed by a jail inmate. 
Hall says a look at some of the jailhouse tattoos tells him there was a lot of creativity 'in house.' 
About 100 inmates who take part in a rehabilitation program were encouraged to submit sketches. Thirty-three of them did. 
The Nashville arts commission narrowed the field to three finalists and department employees chose the winner. 
The card will show a man pulling a freshly cut Christmas tree through the snow. The winner is identified as T. Sloan, who was released from jail October 10th. 
The sheriff says Sloan was invited to a pizza lunch for inmates who submitted ideas. The card will be sent to more than 5,000 people and institutions on the department mailing list.
