When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Putnam County TN Jail so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Putnam Co Jail is a detention center located at 421 E Spring St Cookeville, TN which is operated locally by the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Putnam County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Cookeville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Tennessee here.
The Jail houses an average of 65 state inmates and the remainder of the population is pretrial and sentenced county inmates. These include but are not limited to persons arrested in Putnam County, including the City of Cookeville. In addition, those persons arrested by the Algood Police Department, Baxter Police Department, Monterey Police Department, Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency within Putnam County are brought to the Putnam County Jail for processing.
The revenue generated by inmates comes from state inmates, housing juvenile offenders, inmate phone system, and facility commissary sales and medical co-pay system, which help offset the budget.
All Putnam County Corrections Facility inmates are authorized to order and receive commissary once per week from our in-house commissary. They are also authorized to receive orders placed by family or friends through the Access Catalog Securepak program. These Securepak orders are also delivered once per week. (See information about the Access Securepak program below)
All inmates are allowed to order everything from the commissary menu posted on the kiosk in their housing location, except those inmates whose commissary privileges have been suspended due to disciplinary reasons. All inmates who have commissary privileges suspended are only permitted to order and receive personal hygiene items and writing materials.
