Stewart County Detention Center

Stewart County Detention Center offers video visitation. You'll need to agree to the facility's posted visitation rules before visiting. Violate those rules, and your privileges can be suspended or further restricted. The facility directs visitors to InmateSales for video-visit processes. In Tennessee, visitors typically must complete the Visitor Application (CR‑2152) and get approved before visiting. The application requires a current photograph and a street address (not a P.O. Box). Return it to the facility's visiting office or the Associate Warden/Deputy Superintendent. Expect an NCIC background check, and plan on about 30 days for processing. Once approved, you'll be added to the offender management system. From there, schedule your visit through the facility's system, which is often a kiosk, vendor portal, or app. All visits are monitored, and staff can change or cancel them at their discretion.

At Stewart County Detention Center, inmates can only place outgoing calls. These are generally collect unless the inmate has funds on a phone account, and calls may be monitored. Phone and video communication both run through CPC. To fund calls or set up video visits, register and manage your account through the vendor portal, app, or a lobby kiosk. Many housing units also have Chirpers in-cell devices that let inmates send text messages to approved family and friends. You'll typically need to be on the inmate's approved list to receive messages. For video visitation, you'll be asked to agree to the facility's posted visitation rules. Rule violations can lead to suspended video privileges. Scheduling and payments are routed through the vendor/InmateSales.

Stewart County Detention Center directs family and friends to use SmartDeposit for adding funds to an inmate's account. Do not include cash, checks, or credit cards inside inmate mail. They will be returned. Deposits go through third-party processors, and any convenience or processing fees are shown during checkout. Common ways to add funds include online portals, in-facility kiosks, and automated phone systems. You'll typically need the inmate's full name plus their facility ID or birthdate to complete a deposit. Some deposits post immediately, while others take one to two business days. Keep your receipt and follow up with the facility if funds don't appear as expected. Phone and commissary credits may be managed through separate vendor accounts.
