How to Visit Anderson County Detention Center (TN)
Visiting someone at Anderson County Detention Center is a lot easier when you nail down the details before making the drive. Here are the contact points you need to get the current visitation schedule and rules directly from the county offices.
Start with the Anderson County Sheriff's Department. Their mailing address is 101 South Main Street, Suite 400, Clinton, TN 37716-3624, and the phone number is 865-457-6210. This is your best first call. Ask about visiting hours, how visits are scheduled, what ID you'll need, and any rules that could affect your trip.
Note: The Sheriff’s Department office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. These are administrative hours and may not match jail visitation times.
If your visit involves a payment question or anything handled through the county trustee, reach out to the Anderson County Trustee's office at 100 North Main Street, Room 203, Clinton, TN 37716-3624. The phone number is 865-457-6233. A quick call can save you time sorting out where to go, what to bring, or what hours apply for in-person business.
Note: The Trustee office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Like the Sheriff’s office, these are business hours and not a confirmed visitation schedule.
