The Sumner Co Jail is a detention center located at 117 W Smith St Gallatin, TN which is operated locally by the Sumner 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. Sumner County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Gallatin 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 Sumner County Jail operates under the legal guidelines of the State of Tennessee, with the jail staff authorized to release individuals solely upon proper court orders. Both inmates and jail staff are entrusted with maintaining a safe and orderly environment within the facility. As a no-smoking facility, the jail prioritizes the well-being of all occupants.

Responsibility for the operation and oversight of the jail rests solely with the Sheriff and his staff, who are committed to upholding fairness and humanity in accordance with the law. To ensure safety and fairness, the Sheriff has implemented strict rules that are enforced exclusively by jail personnel.

For the convenience of friends and family, a new messaging service has been introduced, allowing them to send messages to inmates via the deposit website, www.jailfunds.com, or the JailFunds app available for both Apple and Android devices. This service includes the option to attach a photo to the message and is provided to the public and inmates free of charge.

Inmates can respond to received messages and also initiate communication by sending digital messages, which will be delivered to recipients via text or email. Each message sent by an inmate incurs a cost of $0.50, deducted from their commissary account. Recipients are allowed one free response per message back to the inmate. Indigent inmates receive two free outgoing messages per week.

While there is no limit to the number of messages that can be sent, there is a maximum of 150 incoming messages every 30 days. Messages that are denied or bounced back due to incorrect contact information are refunded to the inmate's commissary account.
