DIRECTIONS TO MDF AT 5115 HARDING PLACE:
  • In Nashville, on Interstate 24, eastbound or westbound, take exit #56 to Harding Place. Note: This general area of I-24 continues to undergo long-term construction. Pay particular attention to lane changes and other unusual situations.
  • Coming off the exit ramp onto Harrding Place, turn left if coming from I-24 eastbound, and turn right off the exit ramp if coming from I-24 westbound.
  • Go 0.8 mile through lights at Metroplex Drive, then Antioch Pike, then under a railroad overpass, to the light at Ezell Road.
  • Turn right onto Ezell Road. As you turn onto Ezell Road from Harding Place, there is a small green sign reading "CDC-M - CCA" on the right, followed shortly by a small stone wall on the left with larger signs in it for the Correctional Development Center-Male and MDF. 
  • Bear left at the stone sign and follow the road less than half a mile until you see MDF and its parking lot on your right.
