It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Williamson County TN Jail so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.

The Williamson Co Jail is a detention center located at 408 Century Ct Franklin, TN which is operated locally by the Williamson 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. Williamson 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. You can see all the arrest records for Tennessee here.

Detention is the division responsible for housing pre-trial and sentenced detainees in the John I. Easley Jr., Criminal Justice Center. The Criminal Justice Center encompasses approximately 121,000 square feet and sits on approximately 19 acres. Capacity is 454 inmate beds.

When an individual is arrested, they are transported to the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Justice Center to be processed. During this process, Intake Deputies will complete the following; all personal property will be logged and taken from the arrestee, it will be placed into a sealed property bag and returned only upon release, they will permit the new intake to use the phone, collect all of the individual’s information, ask a series of questions, take their fingerprints and their photographs. If a new intake is not going to make bond they will be processed further and placed into a housing section while they await their court date. The entire intake process can range from 1 hour up to several hours depending on the number of people waiting to be processed or coming in or being released at that time.

Intake/Release is an extremely busy area and we always do our best to get everyone processed as quickly as possible. Inmates do have the ability to bond out at any time of the day (except for those who wish to make a property bond or their bond amount exceeds the limit that we can do here at our facility).

Bond Docket is held at approximately 8:30 A.M. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through a closed circuit television. If individual wishes to bond out on a day Bond Docket is held, please understand we will not be able to do so until we receive the original paperwork from the courthouse. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours after Bond Docket is completed. In addition to doing the intake process on all new arrestees, Intake Deputies also handle the intake process for all Misdemeanor Citations, Property Releases and all Public Fingerprints.
