What You Can Bring for a New Inmate at Cocke County Jail (Intake Checklist)

If you're bringing items for a new inmate at Cocke County Jail, the list is short: up to five white t-shirts, up to five pairs of white socks, and up to five pairs of white underwear. Everything must be brand new and still in the original store bag. Anything else the inmate needs gets purchased through the Commissary Kiosk.

Allowed Items Checklist

• ✓ Up to 5 white t-shirts
• ✓ Up to 5 pairs of white socks
• ✓ Up to 5 pairs of white underwear

All clothing items must be purchased new and kept in the original store bag. Leave that unopened multi-pack exactly as it came from the store. If you open the packaging, re-bag items yourself, or bring anything that doesn't look clearly new, staff can refuse them at booking.

Skip the extra "just in case" items. Only the approved white t-shirts, socks, and underwear are accepted at intake. Everything else has to go through the Commissary Kiosk, so bringing additional clothing or supplies just wastes your trip.
