Marion County Jail

Need information about an inmate? Call the 118-bed Marion County Jail at 423-942-8012 any time, day or night, or look them up with the inmate search tool.

This jail is where people arrested in the county for misdemeanors and felonies are taken for booking and processing. Some are released after posting bond or on their own recognizance. Others are held until their trial is decided.

If convicted and sentenced to less than a year, an inmate serves the time here. A sentence longer than a year means a transfer to the Tennessee State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Use this page to find the visitation schedule and policies, send money to an inmate, write a letter, set up inmate phone calls and voicemail, email or text, rent a tablet, post a bail bond, or buy commissary.

Save the booking number or jail ID once you have it, as it’s required for most correspondence. If the online roster doesn’t show it, call Marion County Jail at 423-942-8012.
