About the Trousdale County Jail

INTERESTING FACTS about the Trousdale County Jail:  In 2022, a new 105 facility has been recommended for this county to replace the existing older one that was built in 1956, which only houses 44 people. The current jail has little room for programs, and inmates are not housed according to the severity of their charges, so violent criminals are put in alongside people with minor offenses. There are many security challenges with a building this old as well. Trousdale County is also home to a much larger Tennessee State Prison.

The one story, brick Trousdale County Jail on East Main Street in Hartsville, right across the street from the Hartsville City Park and the Trey Senior Citizens Center, is responsible for the housing and care of those who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Trousdale County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year. 

The 44-bed facility serves many law enforcement organizations including the Sheriff’s Department, local police, Immigration, and other surrounding counties as needed.

If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 615-374-2114, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.

Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment. 

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks. 

The Trousdale County Jail also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills. 

Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided. 

Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit. 

Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
