Sumner County Juvenile Detention Center

Sumner County has a small Juvenile Detention facility that houses both male and female youth, in separate housing units, as they await their detention hearing or their court date. Many are in the location for under 72 hours with few remaining beyond that time. Juvenile Courts in the county focus on deterring behaviors that result in detention and use alternatives to detention regularly. These alternatives may include house supervision, probation either supervised or unsupervised, community service, and even electronic monitoring. Each juvenile will receive full care while they are detained including all meals created to be healthy, laundry services and cleaning throughout the day, school classes to continue their schoolwork, and have access to any necessary medical care and prescription medication, dental care, and mental health support. As a temporary housing location there are not long term students present, with most spending a few days, and any who face long sentences or programs may remain in the location or be transferred to an alternative facility nearby that has increased services and programs. Mail: 117 West Smith Street Gallatin, TN 37066 Mail should be addressed to the youth with their ID number for the facility, have a return address with a full name for the sender, and will be checked for any contraband or adult content. Phones: Juveniles will have access to phones in the common areas of their housing units to contact their parents or guardians, and they will be permitted to do so during their free hours after school and programs have been completed for the day. Visitation: At least one day each week parents and guardians only will be able to visit their child, during a prebooked appointment. The facility can be reached at 615-452-2616.
