How to Visit Robertson County Jail (TN)
Visiting someone at Robertson County Jail is straightforward once you know the schedule and the rules that can get a visit denied. Here's how to lock in a time and show up prepared.
Robertson County Jail holds visitation Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. Pick a time inside those windows, then plan around check-in so you're not cutting it close. Visitation space is limited, and all visits must be scheduled through the visitation office. You can also schedule and manage visits online through the GTL portal. It lets you choose the date, time, and location, and gives you instant confirmation once your visit is set.
Each inmate gets one one-hour visit per week. If you're coordinating with other family members, figure out who's visiting that week before anyone books a slot. Be on time. Show up more than 15 minutes late and the jail will cancel your visit. Driving in from out of town? Give yourself extra buffer for traffic and parking so you don't lose your time.
Dress code and prohibited items: No shorts, pajama pants, hats, sunglasses, low-cut blouses, or tank tops. Weapons (including firearms or knives), tobacco products, backpacks, food or drinks, and books or newspapers are all banned from the visitation area. Pagers and cell phones must be turned off.
Need to add money to commissary while you're there? Kiosks in the visitation lobby and the main lobby let family members deposit funds into an inmate's commissary account. You can also make deposits online through CorrectPay.

Confirm visitation hours before you go, even if you've visited before. Robertson County Jail lists visitation as Monday through Saturday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm, but schedules can shift. Also confirm that space is still available for the time you want. Since visitation is limited and all visits must be scheduled, you don't want to make the trip only to find there are no open slots.
If you're using the GTL portal, make sure you can sign in and complete scheduling before you travel. The portal lets you pick a date, time, and location and confirms visits instantly, but it's still worth checking that your visit shows up correctly. For commissary deposits, know which option you plan to use ahead of time. Robertson County Jail has kiosks in the visitation lobby and the main lobby, and also accepts online deposits through CorrectPay.
Before you head out: Double-check the one-visit-per-week limit, the 15-minute late cancellation rule, the dress code, and the current prohibited items list. Getting turned away at the door is an easy problem to avoid.
