Access Jefferson County Inmate Population

Jefferson County inmate population searches center on Dandridge and the county jail at the Justice Center. The jail is a minimum to maximum security facility, and the research gives you a direct set of public contacts for the sheriff office and the mail rules. That makes Jefferson County a clear county-side search. Start with the jail information page when you need custody status, then use the sheriff office if you need the facility contact or office hours. The county does not rely on a public online roster in the research, so the jail page is the stable starting point.

Search Jefferson County Inmate Population

The county jail contact details in the research are the main public source for a Jefferson County inmate population search. The jail is at 765 Justice Center Drive in Dandridge, TN 37725, with phone 865-397-3786, and the facility is minimum to maximum security. The research also gives the mailing address as Inmate Name, Jefferson County Jail, PO Box 671, 765 Justice Center Drive, Dandridge, TN 37725. Those details are the core of a Jefferson County inmate population search because they tell you where the custody record lives and where the mail goes.

The county search stays grounded because the jail address, mail rule, and sheriff office contact line are all already defined in the page.

Jefferson County does not present a broader public roster in the research, so the jail information page is the cleanest place to begin. It gives the live county context without forcing you to chase a weak or missing roster site.

Jefferson County Inmate Population Records

Jefferson County inmate population records are tied to Sheriff Jeff Coffey and the sheriff office at 765 Justice Center Drive, Dandridge, TN 37725. The office phone is 865-397-3786 and the fax is 865-397-4894. The research also names Chief Deputy of Investigations Ronny Coleman and Chief Deputy of Patrol Randy Poe. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. That set of details matters because it gives the county a direct contact path when the jail page does not answer the question completely.

The jail and sheriff office are at the same address, which makes the county record easier to track. If you need to confirm a booking or ask about a custody question, the sheriff office can support the jail side of the search. If you need the mail rules, the jail page is still the better reference. That split keeps the county search practical and avoids mixing up facility facts with office facts.

Jefferson County Jail and Sheriff

The jail is a minimum to maximum security facility, so it handles a broad custody mix rather than only one type of inmate. That is useful to know if you are checking a current hold, a sentence, or a jail transfer. Because the jail address and sheriff office address are the same, the county operation is compact. The research gives you the office hours, the direct phone number, and the chief deputies, which is enough to keep the search local without adding extra steps.

The mailing rule is also important. Inmates receive mail at the PO Box 671 address tied to the jail, and all mail is searched for contraband. That is a practical detail because it confirms the facility and tells you how the jail manages contact. For family members and attorneys, the mail address is often the fastest way to confirm that a person is still in the county system.

Jefferson County does not need a long explanation to work. The jail page gives the custody facts, and the sheriff office gives the contact line. That is the whole county record path in the research.

Jefferson County Public Records

The research does not identify a separate public records coordinator for Jefferson County, so the sheriff office is the clearest public contact path for jail-side questions. If you need the custody record or need to confirm the facility details, the sheriff office phone and office hours are the practical county response. That is not unusual in a county search. Some counties centralize records through a clerk or mayor. Others keep the jail and sheriff contact front and center.

The Tennessee Public Records Act still provides the overall access frame, and the state law at T.C.A. § 10-7-503 is the right starting point if you need a broader records citation. The county research here is mostly about detention and office contact, so the county record path is more direct than a formal records form. That keeps the search practical and tied to the office that actually runs the jail.

TDOC Backup for Jefferson County Inmate Population

If the person you need has moved beyond Jefferson County custody, the Tennessee Department of Correction is the right backup. The FOIL search at apps.tn.gov/foil/ is the best statewide tool for Tennessee felony offenders in TDOC custody or former custody. It can show current status, location, photo, and active sentence information. That is useful when the county jail no longer has the person but the state record still does.

The TDOC main portal at tn.gov/correction.html and victim services at tn.gov/correction/victim-services.html are also useful when the question moves from booking to notice or release timing. Jefferson County keeps the local custody side simple, and TDOC handles the broader custody layer. That is the right split to keep in mind when the case has already left the jail.

The county jail page still matters because it tells you where the inmate started. That helps keep the search local even when the custody trail extends into state records.

Open TDOC FOIL when the county record no longer shows the person but a Tennessee custody record may still exist.

That state page is the best backup when Jefferson County no longer has a live custody answer.
