Sending Money
Adding money for someone at Haywood County Jail typically works through one of these channels: an in-person kiosk, an online portal or app, an automated phone system, or approved mail/trustee payment options. What's available depends on the facility. Commissary/trust funds (for purchases) are often separate from phone and video-visit credits, and different vendors may run each account. Electronic deposits come with convenience or processing fees—these are set by the third-party payment processor and shown during checkout, not by the jail. Posting times vary: some deposits appear right away, while others take one to two business days. Save your receipt and follow up if funds don't show. Separately, Haywood County policy says no charges are assessed for copies and duplicates of records.

Facility Info
Sheriff Billy Garrett Jr. has served Haywood County since November 2017 and oversees local law-enforcement functions. The county's public records policy presumes records are open under the Tennessee Public Records Act (TPRA)—inspection is free, and no charges are assessed for copies and duplicates. If a records custodian can't promptly provide what you requested, they must send a completed Public Records Request Response Form within seven business days. When records are redacted, the county discloses the basis in general terms. Custodians may provide an itemized estimate before producing copies and can require pre-payment. The Sheriff's Department has indicated inmates may assist with archives work under supervision, and the county has discussed funding and grant opportunities for archive renovation projects.
