INTERESTING FACTS about the Cocke County Jail: This facility is notorious for being grossly overcrowded. The femal facility was built in 1930 and the Annex across the street was converted in 1992 for male inmates. It has a total capacity of 140, and usually the number hovers around 200, with inmates sleeping on mats on the floor. There are reports of leaky roofs from inmates, who also have gone on record as calling the facility “nasty.” There is inadequate space, as reported by the workers. The more problematic inmates cannot be separated from those who want to simply go in and do their time and get out peacefully. Inmates had been digging under the walls to receive contraband, so additional fence had to recently be constructed. A wrongful death suit was filed in 2023 claiming an inmate was not tended to properly after a jailer body slammed him.
