Lawrence County Booking Records and the Law
Tennessee law treats booking releases as public records. The Tennessee Public Records Act gives every state citizen the right to inspect government records during business hours. This includes booking logs and arrest records at the Lawrence County Jail. No reason is required when you ask to see them. Copies cost $0.15 per page for standard black and white prints.
