About the Cocke County Jail
A message from the Cocke County Corrections The men and women who choose a career as a Correctional Officer have far greater expectations placed upon them than just keeping criminals locked up. They are called upon to assess and respond to a wide variety of circumstances. They must react to various personality issues, violent criminals, suicidal inmates, persons with communicable diseases, the need for First Aid, individuals suffering from the effects of illegal substances, inmates and families who may be dealing with any number of social, emotional or even psychological issues. Along with these situations, they also serve 400 to 500 meals every day of the week, distribute prescription medications and do their best to see to it that inmate hygiene is observed and recreation time is allowed. Corrections Officers are also called upon to ensure that each inmate’s religious rights are met. The days of the jovial town drunk letting himself in and out of jail are over. The standards and expectations on our jail are at an all-time high and still rising. I give my personal thanks to the people of Cocke County for your support, thoughts and prayers for the men and women who choose to be Correctional Officers. Send a message We have only a few people to supervise all the functions of the jail. We average 150 or more inmates in the jail at any given time. We are asked as many as 50 times a day to relay a message to an inmate. If we did that for just 1 inmate, we would have to do it for every inmate. We do take the time to give inmates the messages we know are very important. When the message concerns a close relative who is ill or something of that nature, we will pass along that news. In the lobby of the Annex there is a machine, much like an ATM where anyone can deposit money into inmate accounts. You will need a state issued ID and you may use either cash or a credit/debit card. There is a transaction fee charged by the provider. It makes things move a little faster if you know the inmate’s Jacket Number. Money may also be deposited by phone or online.
