Email Advisory

NASHVILLE - An email transmission that is being circulated with claims of recent gang activity cannot be supported by current Department of Correction intelligence.  The email appears to have been forwarded by a department employee but is not an official TDOC statement.  The email states that gang members are using a new method to target women that involves sitting a baby car seat on the side of a road and attacking women as they approach.

While the TDOC recognizes the gang element that extends to members housed in state correctional facilities, we cannot substantiate any claims made in the recent email transmission.  Therefore, the public is advised to use caution when forwarding emails that do not appear to be official documents.
