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 here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Simpson Co Jail is a detention center located at 217 E Kentucky St Franklin, KY which is operated locally by the Simpson 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. Simpson County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Franklin 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.
MAIL - Incoming mail should be in the form of postcards. Legal mail is accepted in all forms and is subject to examination for contraband. Money orders should be sent separately from other mail and addressed to Inmate Commissary Account/Inmate's Name. Inmate to inmate mail is prohibited. Address instructions here.
WEEKENDERS - If given the opportunity to serve your time on weekends, please arrive totally sober and bring a $55 booking fee. If you are intoxicated, you are subject to arrest and the judge will be notified. If you are scheduled for multiple weekends, any violations may result in serving your time straight. The jail does not reschedule weekends; only the judge may grant an extension of time.
