How to Send Money to Union County Jail, TN (TN)

In Union County, the Trustee's office is your best starting point. The Trustee acts as the county Treasurer and general banker, handling county funds and keeping transaction records. That makes it a practical place to ask exactly how to get money to someone held at the jail. Since procedures can change, contact both the Trustee's office and the jail directly for current, official instructions.
