unds remaining on an inmates account are available 2 ways:

1. If an inmate is transferred to any other facility(county, state or federal) a release form must be filled out which is available from booking officers. An address must be provided so a check can be cut and sent to the inmate. All checks are written to the inmate only, no checks can be written to family members.
2. If an inmate is being released from the facility and not by transfer, a debit card will be made with the remaining funds on their account. Should an inmate be released after making an order and before delivery, the order will be refunded and a debit card may be picked up at the main jail office on Wednesday after 8:00 am. This will ensure that all funds have been returned and all outstanding fees have been paid.
Inmate Funds cannot be released until the inmate is released or transferred to another facility.

Indigent inmates
Any inmate booked into the Sevier County Jail will begin the indigent process 8 days after booking, this allows time for booking and posting bond. A list of all new inmates is sent to commissary which will check to see if the inmate has received funds. If the inmate has not, then this inmate will start the indigent process. A 2 week kit is provided within 8 days of booking containing soap, shampoo, paper, stamped envelopes and a pen. This allows the inmate to be able to contact family and lawyers. If the inmate is still indigent on the following delivery day, they will receive a 3 week kit which contains a large bottle of shampoo, two bars of soap, deodorant and more paper and envelopes. Then the inmate will receive a kit every 30 days thereafter containing enough hygiene products for a month.
It is the responsibility of the inmate to order their kit after their initial 3 week is brought to them. They can keep track of this on the kiosk in their pods.
All incoming inmates are issued a intake kit at booking which contains hygiene products, comb and toothbrush.
