Sumner County Jail

Sumner County Jail's Jailfunds listing shows families can handle several services online: commissary deposits, phone time, video visit scheduling, messaging, and money orders. For in-person visits, Tennessee requires you to complete the Visitor Application (CR-2152) and get approved first. The application asks for a current photo and a street address (P.O. Boxes aren't accepted), and the facility runs an NCIC background check during processing. Once approved, you'll schedule visits through the facility's system, whether that's an on-site kiosk, a vendor portal, or an app. Staff can change or cancel visits, so verify current hours, fees, and scheduling steps on the jail's visitor page or the vendor portal.

Sumner County Jail offers several ways to stay connected: commissary deposits, phone time purchases, video visits, messaging, and money orders. Phone calls and messaging typically go through third-party vendors. Like most Tennessee jails, calls are outbound only and monitored, so you may need to set up a vendor account before receiving calls or messages. Adding funds or scheduling a video visit usually happens through the facility's approved vendor portal, app, or a lobby kiosk. Confirm which vendor the jail uses before creating an account or sending payment. For specific questions about accepted payment methods, vendor names, or scheduling, contact Jail Administrator Jerry Scott.

Jailfunds lists several services for Sumner County Jail (TN): commissary deposits, phone time and credits, video visit scheduling, messaging, and money orders. You can typically add money through an in-person kiosk, online portal or app, automated phone system, or approved mail/trustee channels. Note that commissary funds and phone/video credits may be handled by different vendors, so money added for one purpose won't automatically apply to another. Most electronic deposits go through third-party processors that display convenience or processing fees at checkout. Posting times vary. Save your receipt and look up the incarcerated person by full name plus a facility identifier (ID/jacket number or birthdate) to avoid misapplied funds.
