Mark Davidson, District Attorney General for Tennessee’s 25th Judicial District, joins Signature Required for a wide ranging and deeply honest conversation about justice, responsibility, and what public safety actually looks like away from the spotlight.

Serving five rural counties in West Tennessee, Davidson leads an office responsible for thousands of cases each year, spanning everything from probation and recovery courts to violent crime, child protection, and victim advocacy. In this episode, he breaks down what a district attorney really does, how little of the job involves simply “locking people up,” and why most people who enter the justice system are trying to find a way back out.
