Trustee Visitation at Smith County Jail (TN): Hours, Sign-Up, and How It Differs
If your loved one qualifies for trustee visitation at Smith County Jail, there's a separate evening time slot and a different sign-up window than general visitation. Here's what you need to know to plan around it.
Trustee visitation runs from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM - a separate evening window from the jail's standard daytime visiting hours.
Sign-up for trustee visits happens the same day, between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Don't wait until the last minute - if you show up at 7:25, you might not make the list before the visit period ends.
General visitation runs from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. If you're used to that daytime schedule, trustee visitation will feel different - it's later in the day and has its own sign-up process.
For general visits, sign-up happens at the Low-Risk Facility between 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM on the day of your visit. That earlier window matches the 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM visiting hours - don't assume trustee sign-up times apply to regular visits.

Note: Visitation sessions at Smith County Jail are limited to 20 minutes, so even within the posted hours, your actual time with your loved one may be brief.
- Confirm they’re eligible for trustee visitation - ask your loved one (or confirm when you arrive) whether they’re approved for trustee status, since trustee visitation runs on a separate schedule.
- Verify the schedule the day you plan to go - double-check the current trustee and general visitation hours and the correct sign-up window before you leave.
- Ask about the visit session timing at sign-up - visitation is limited to 20 minutes, so confirm how sessions are being queued that day so you know what to expect.
Dress code violations are an easy way to lose your visit. The jail prohibits revealing or see-through clothing, sleeves shorter than halfway down the upper arm, spandex or tights, and dresses, skirts, or shorts above mid-thigh. Anything with obscene or offensive language, images, or gang affiliation is also off-limits.
General visitation days are split by gender: women visit on Tuesday and Sunday, men on Monday and Saturday. Trustee visitation runs separately in the evening, so double-check which schedule applies to your situation.
