How to Visit Facility

On the Knox County Detention Center website, look for the Inmate Services page. You'll find a link labeled "Visitation Information." This is the facility's official, central source for visiting rules and any requirements you'll need to follow when you arrive.

That same Inmate Services page has other useful links, including "Property Drop Off" and "Commissary." If you need to do more than just visit (like dropping off approved items or figuring out how commissary works for your loved one), this is where the facility groups all of those related services.

Note: These links are confirmed to exist on the facility website, but current hours, fees, scheduling steps, and what's allowed may change. Always check the "Visitation Information" page directly, and call the facility to verify anything time-sensitive.

Steps to Follow

  • Go to the Knox County Detention Center website.
  • Open the Inmate Services page.
  • Click “Visitation Information” and use it as your primary source for the facility’s visitation rules and any posted updates.
  • If you need to drop off items, check the “Property Drop Off” link from the Inmate Services page.
  • If you’re trying to understand or fund inmate purchases, review the “Commissary” link on that same page.
How to Visit Facility
  1. Review “Visitation Information” for the basics - confirm the facility’s posted visit times, whether you need to schedule ahead, and what ID (if any) is required. Those specifics are not included in the evidence provided here, so you’ll need to verify them directly on that page.
  2. Double-check any restrictions listed there - if the page lists limits (like who can visit, how many people, or what you can bring), follow the most current wording posted by the facility.
  1. Open “Property Drop Off” if you plan to bring anything - confirm the procedure, allowed items, and any time windows for drop-offs (the evidence only shows the link exists).
  2. Open “Commissary” if you’re trying to help with purchases - verify how commissary is handled and any rules or limits that apply (again, the evidence only confirms the link is listed).

Reminder: For the most up-to-date info, start at Inmate Services and click "Visitation Information." If anything is unclear or urgent, call the facility to confirm before making the trip.
