Fentress Records Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those actions.


Start with the record custodian

For a current county-jail question, use the Fentress County Sheriff Department and distinguish a status question from a request for copies. The office’s published page provides the following Justice Center contact information:

Fentress County Sheriff Department / Justice Center
140 Justice Center Drive, Suite 1
Jamestown, TN 38556
931-879-8142
Lobby: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, closed federal holidays

For non-emergency routing, central dispatch is 931-752-0911. Do not use emergency services for routine records questions. The Sheriff page did not provide a public online roster, so an official confirmation or a records request may be needed.

  • For a booking record or photograph, use the county records hub and the county’s Tennessee Public Records Act form.
  • For a warrant question, the Sheriff’s published instruction is to ask in person; see Most Wanted for the distinction between a warrant and a booking.
  • For a court result, contact the Fentress County Circuit Court Clerk at 140 Justice Center Drive, Suite 126, Jamestown, TN 38556, 931-879-7919.
  • For a Tennessee state-offender record, use TDOC’s official FOIL search or VINE, not the county-jail route.
  • For federal or immigration custody, begin with the official BOP or ICE locator after identifying the holding agency.
