I was born and raised here in Scott County, Tennessee. I was once arrested for a DUI and I spent a few weekends in this jail. I was on the second floor. I wonder if my initials are still on cell. Thank you for this historic video. Growing up here compared to the world outside these mountains, was i guess a different kind of experience. We learned to survive, depending upon ourselves, not asking for governmental help. I am 66yrs old, and this was the safest place to be. Everyone knew everyone and would look out for each other's children. Scott County was once the Independent state of Scott. We annexed ourselves from the state of Tennessee during the Civil War. Please look into that part of our history. Governor Alexander formally accepted us back in the state.
Yes! The independent state of Scott will be a future video, stay tuned!
@@paulbauswellsr3296 I remember reading about that And I’ve seen the movie they made about it. I grew up in a small town of Soddy Tennessee. Small town outside Chattanooga and in between Red Bank and Dayton. Great place to live then. Haven’t lived there since I was about 10 I’m 61 now live in Kentucky. Have family and ancestors in both places still. God bless.
I'm just south in Morgan Co. Now the majority of folks are a slave to a g'uv check. Nobody wants to work. And there is plenty. I build fence, log, landscape, carpentry, etc , etc. I have to turn a lot of work away because I am only one man.
@@joshuagibson2520 - Count yourself lucky to have the skills needed for plenty of jobs. Meanwhile don't look down on and disparage the vast majority of people at the mercy of systemic class warfare where they never had much chance from the day they were born. Most people DO want to work; however, that's no excuse for predatory employers taking advantage of their lesser power in myriad ways to ride roughshod over them. After my divorce and having worked to help my ex finish college, then sticking by him as a military officer's wife back when it was very much frowned upon for wives to work outside the home, I was thrown on my own. Dressed and behaved like a nun but I only had one boss who didn't think I also owed him a roll in the hay. That may be fine with most of you men, but I'm telling you there has to be one of the hottest spots in hell for such monsters. I damn near had to end one of them to stop him. So I got fired more than Sally Jesse Rafael. Don't ever say "People don't want to work" around decent people again; bc if you do and they agree or fail to dispute that, it's likely only bc you're an overbearing arse they're afraid to confront. I'm not. And yes, I talk to anyone this way face to face irl too. As a matter of fact, I've cussed out 3 of the 4 preachers in TinyTown where I retired. The only reason the 4th one escaped was bc he outran me.
@@TheAppalachianStorytellerdidn't they make a movie with Matthew McConaughey about that or am I confusing 2 different storys
I love anything Appalachia. History, hauntings, mysteries, etc.; it's all good! Thanks, JD.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Hope you are having a great week!
I wish you would do a haunted series for Halloween 🎃
@@Stephanie-dj4iy stay tuned!
No such thing as ghosts,but it makes for a good story
@@howlinwulfNo such thing as god but it makes for a good moral compass 🤷🏻♂️
I love watching the stories about Appalachia they are so interesting and I get to learn something new at the age of 63 🏴🏴🏴
Awesome
Thanks JD, for bringing this and other Appalachia stories to us. Keep 'em comin'! Pure Appalachia GOLD!
Thank you so much. I hope you have a great weekend.
This kind of video makes a great addition to your normal story telling! Would love to see more of this type.
Thanks Eric, preciate the feedback
Mountain Justice keeps a man honest....Or Else!...Good job JD.
Yup 👍🏼
I grew up here & I’ve actually never been in the jail. I’ll have to go see this soon!
Awesome
Born and raised in Tennessee now 67 years, and I had never heard of that place! How interesting!
It’s funny how things can exist right underneath our nose, isn’t it?
All things Appalachian is OK by me. Another great story by you J.D.. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks so much for that feedback. Hope you have a great weekend, my friend. It’s beautiful here in East Tennessee.
This was so good! Seeing the actual place really enhanced the story. As a child I really looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons. Now I look forward to Saturday mornings to wake up & see your posts. 😅❤
Aw thank you so much for this comment, it made me smile 😊

(Behavior that cannot fully obey Me is betrayal. Behavior that cannot be loyal to Me is betrayal. Having many understandings and spreading them everywhere is betrayal. The inability to affirm My testimonies and interests is betrayal. These are all acts of betrayal that you have always been able to do, and they are common to you as well. None of you may think this is a problem, but I don't think so. You think that some act of treachery is only an occasional occurrence, not your characteristic behavior, and should not be discussed so seriously, in a way that damages your pride. To think like this is to be an example and example of rebellion. Man's nature is his life; it was a principle on which he depended to stay alive, and he could not change it. This is also the nature of betrayal---if you can do something to betray a relative or friend, it proves that it is part of your life and you were born with this nature. For example, if a person enjoys stealing from others, this "joy of stealing" is part of their life, although they may steal sometimes and not steal sometimes. Whether they steal or not, it cannot prove that their stealing is just a form of behavior. Rather, it proves that their thieving is a part of their life--that is, their nature. This is why I say that the source of this thought is not something that just breaks out from time to time, but is in this person's own nature.)
Almighty God said
BEHAVIOR that CANNOT FULLY OBEY Me is BETRAYAL. BEHAVIOR that CANNOT be FAITHFUL to Me is BETRAYAL. CHEATING on Me and USING LIES to DECEIVE Me is BETRAYAL. HAVING MANY UNDERSTANDINGS and SPREADING them EVERYWHERE is TREASON. The INABILITY to AFFIRM My TESTIMONIES and INTERESTS is BETRAYAL. OFFERING FALSE SMILES when the HEART is FAR from Me is BETRAYAL. These are ALL ACTS of BETRAYAL that YOU have ALWAYS been ABLE to DO, and they are COMMON to you as well. ☀️🙏
NONE of YOU may THINK this is a PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T THINK SO. I CANNOT TREAT SOMEONE'S BETRAYAL of Me as a SMALL MATTER, and I ESPECIALLY cannot ignore it. 🛑
Now, when I work among you, you act in this way---if the day comes when no one is there to watch over you, will you not be like bandits who have declared themselves kings? When that happens and you cause a major disaster, who will be there to fix the problem? You THINK that some ACT of TREACHERY is ONLY an OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE, NOT your CHARACTERISTIC BEHAVIOR, and should NOT be DISCUSSED so SERIOUSLY, in a way that DAMAGES your PRIDE. If you really think like this, you lack common sense. To think like this is to be an example and example of rebellion. MAN'S NATURE is his LIFE; it is a PRINCIPLE on which he DEPENDS to STAY ALIVE, and he CANNOT CHANGE it. THIS is ALSO the NATURE of BETRAYAL--if YOU CAN DO SOMETHING to BETRAY a RELATIVE or FRIEND, it PROVES that it is a PART of your LIFE and you were BORN with THIS NATURE. 🛑 😪
THIS is SOMETHING that CANNOT be DENIED to ANYONE. For EXAMPLE, if a PERSON ENJOYS STEALING from OTHERS, this "pleasure to steal" is PART of THEIR LIFE, although they may steal sometimes and not steal sometimes. WHETHER they STEAL or NOT, it CANNOT PROVE that their STEALING is JUST a FORM of BEHAVIOR. Rather, it PROVES that their THIEVING is a PART of THEIR LIFE--that is, their NATURE. 🛑
Some people will ask: Since this is their nature, then why, when they see beautiful things, don't they sometimes steal them? The answer is very simple. There are many reasons why they don't steal. They may not steal something because it is too big to snatch from watchful eyes, or because there is no suitable time to act, or something is too expensive, too closely guarded, or maybe they are not particularly interested here, or notthey see how it will be of use to them, and so on. All of these reasons are possible. But anyway, whether they steal something or not, it cannot prove that this thought only exists as a fleeting and fleeting moment. On the contrary, it is a part of their nature that is difficult to change for the better. Such a person is not satisfied with stealing only once; such attitudes to claim other people's possessions as their own are formed whenever they encounter something beautiful, or a suitable situation. ☀️
This is the REASON WHY I SAY that the SOURCE of this THOUGHT is NOT a THING that just CUT off SOMETIMES, but is in this PERSON'S own NATURE. 🙏
From The WORD, Vol. I. The Manifestation and Work of God. A Very Serious Problem: Infidelity 1
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/RUclips! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 💌
I live in Blount Co and camp in Bandy Creek frequently. As an Appalachian native our Outlaw past is not that far behind.
Well, said my friend hope you have a great Saturday
@TheAppalachianStoryteller I hope you have a great day.
Thank you for the great content.
This is my kind of story. I love stories about history and paranormal. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.
I thoroughly enjoyed this upload!!! Thank you for putting this up!!!!👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great story JD. Love hearing of the history behind this jail. Especially interesting was how the "citizens" would take the law into their own hands and issue old west style justice. Great job my friend. Thanks.
It really was crazy about them taking the law into their own hands. I mean, I knew that happened a lot back in the day... but to literally be in the spot that it all happened and to research it all and see it all come together was something else.
I never get tired of these story's. I wish they were on cassette tapes, I'd buy every one. Good video.
Thanks so much James! Preciate the support!
Cassette tapes? Seriously get with the times.
@@user-ib1bo2sr8i I'm kind of old school at close to 70. I have cd and cassette players both.
Born an raised here in scott county. Spent few nights here in my younger days. Coldest place in the winter. Wind would cut thro the windows an u would like to freeze to death. Times has changed here in scott county. Its sad but the old days are long gone
Thanks for sharing this
Really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Thank you Pam!
I really like the idea of episodes about places in Appalachia. This story was super!!
Thanks Nancy!
Scott county is just one county over from me. I've lived in these mountains all my life and I'll say this. In the case of violent murderers of innocent people and ANYONE That's harmed a child or old person , I'm still 💯 in favor of mountain justice, and that's coming from the wife of a retired law man of 30 + years. Our courts have become too soft on crime and the criminals seem to have more protection than the citizens.
agreed
Great true story, Miranda and Kris are doing great Restoring and Preserving the history.
They sure are I was super impressed by what they are doing. Absolutely fabulous.
Thanks Nancy! That means a lot!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Nancy!
Miranda will you marry me ?
I think you are hot !
Really enjoy the stories and really enjoy learning more about Appalachian history and places
Thanks for that feedback Bill. Hope you have a great day, brother.
My ex-husband is from the county next to Scott county. He used to tell me a story about how rough Scott county was and that it wasn’t a place for you to be in after dark. He always said that if we had to go over there for any reason that we need to get her business done and get home.
Thank you, JD🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Raymond!
Love lawless history and possible hauntings.
This place is packed with both!

Would definitely be down for a tour of the Scott County jail.. love old historic sites..great presentation JD!😊
Thanks for that feedback Bryan, hope your having a great week brother
We would love to have you visit!
Thanks JD for this story of the Scott Country Jail....
Old Shoe🇺🇸
Thank you brother!
I grew up in Scott Co. Toured the Jail a couple times in school. Great video.
Thanks my friend
Yes, JD. I would be up for more historical tours and anything paranormal related. Good stuff.!!!
Thanks for that feedback Michael. Hope you’re having a great week, brother.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller your channel gives me a break from all the political stuff.
You can tour Brushy Mountain state prison. It's not that far from Scott Co. And the oldest state people in Tennessee.
He did in a earlier video at the beginning of covid.@jeanninejones8350
The lady Maranda that runs the Scott County Jail has a paranormal RUclips channel called Ghost Biker Explorations.
So cool seeing a video of something/somewhere that's just in my "backyard"!!
That’s awesome. I hope you enjoyed this video and you’re enjoying the beautiful weather here in East Tennessee.
Many thanks, JD.
I appreciate all the work you put into each video.
Your stories never disappoint.
God bless.
Thank you Nonnie! Have a blessed day ❤️
Amazing well told story and video. I visited the old jail last week. It's definitely worth the outstanding trip!
Thank you so much Jim! Yup I saw your mugshot there! 🤣
Thank you for all of your support since the very beginning! It means a lot!
Awesome video, thanks. I moved to Scott County in December 2023. I'll have to plan a tour soon.
It’s definitely worth checking out
We would enjoy having you visit :)
You will definitely have to come by and take a tour!
Great video!!
Thanks!
This was awesome. I love that they preserved the jail and have so many fun activities both historic and paranormal.

Thanks JD I lived in the high country for 10 years thanks for taking me back!
Thanks Kevin!
My dad's side of my family are from Harlan, Kentucky and the surrounding counties with some of them coming up from Tennessee. Generations born, raised and buried. Unfortunately, my dad was the last and I was born in Oregon. My dad and grandparents have been gone for years now so I don't get to hear their stories anymore. I REALLY enjoy listening to your channel and I would love to hear any stories that you want to tell. It allows me to keep connected to my roots. Thank You, JD! Your Granny Tollette would be proud of your storytelling!
Aww, thank you so much for this comment and for mentioning my sweet granny. ❤️

This sounds like a very interesting tour. Thank you. I will keep this in mind when I am with a group thinking about a field trip event in the future.
Glad it was helpful!
We would love to have you visit for a tour :)
Yes, please keep us in mind when you are visiting with a group! We offer both day and night tours!
Love all your stories. I would love to go tour the jail.
Thank you Diane!
I'm a devoted listener and was so surprised to hear a story on my own kin!! I've been told my Boyetts and Winchesters at No Business were something else!
glad to tell a story from your neck of the woods!
Honestly the Scott County Jail museum is an amazing place. They run an escape room and allow guided as well as unguided paranormal investigations there/ghost hunting. Not many places like that openly advertise that stuff so that's really neat and a pretty smart way to keep the cash flowing and museum open for future generations.
Thank you so much, my friend. Hope you’re having a great week.
So interesting love hearing about historical places!
Thank you!
These stories are just amazing. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, Michael. I hope you have a great day, brother.
JD, this was an amazing story about the old jail house. You always have the most great stories. Thank you for sharing this with us

Great story, JD. I also love paranormal info and have done a bit of ghost hunting myself. We've got so many haunted places in Louisiana, you never run out of places to go. ✌️❤️

From The WORD, Vol. I. The Manifestation and Work of God. A Very Serious Problem: Infidelity 1
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/RUclips! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 💌
Love this story. Would like to go there sometime.
its definitely a cool place
That was great! Historical sites may be a good idea for a series. By the way, I always thought Earnest Tub was just a sincere place to take a bath. 😂😂😂😂 I just took a great story, and made a stupid joke.. there has got to be a problem with me.. y'all have a good night.
Thanks for that feedback Rusty I have to admit I thought it was pretty cool to find a lost story of a famous musician, being locked up
Dang, I’m so slow. I just got the tub joke. 🤣 😆
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - The mother of one of my best friends was a sheriff's deputy in an out-of-the-way place where Axl Rose used to pass through fairly often. She had to help arrest and maintain him on one of his notorious binges. Poor guy had been the constant victim of an extremely abusive stepfather since the age of 2 though, and I never could be too horrified that he's also acted out a lot himself. Get beaten often enough and any of us would have a few screws loose too. But they say he's calmed down a lot in his 50's and I think now maybe even his 60's. Last time he started a fight and bit some guy on the leg in a hotel lobby, he was just in his mid-40's if I recall. But regardless, he sure could sing up a storm.
Hank Williams Sr. was another heavy drinker; but his wife was the one who beat him up a lot. I know bc the mother of another friend was the person who crafted so many of his rhinestone outfits, and word gets around.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I'm king of the stupid jokes.. 🤣😂. The fact that you didn't get it right off, tells me how much smarter you are than I am. 😂
I don't think I'd care to be in that jail for long, that's for sure! I promise to be very, very good! LOL (This from a 70 yr old disabled woman!)
haha!
Yes I liked this type of video. We love all your videos. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Christina. I hope all is well down in the state of Mississippi.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller yes sir we are just trying to hang in there. Vehicles are messed up right now. Thank you for checking on us hun. We are so proud of you. We just love you.
Holy moly, JD! Definitely one of your best stories! I lived in Appalachia briefly and heard stories from some of the locals about the lawbreakers up in the mountains, but this story beat them all. Keep them coming! 😊
Thanks so much, Emily. I hope you’re having a great Saturday.
Very interesting . Thank you .I would like to see more of these videos.

Haywood County NC checking in 🌄🏴☠️🌹🌄
Glad to see you here, my friend. Hope you’re having a great week.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller the Days Between this year seem a bit energized.
Thanks with ancestors from Scott and Morgan county its a place where miners and moonshiners lived. They settled their own problems and didn't really care who was supposed to be the law.
Exactly 👍🏼
I spent some time in the jail in 1979 but didn't see or hear any 👻
What were you there for?
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller running from the law they called me the Duke of Scott Co,,I was 20 at the time and I'm an old man now J.D. but don't run from the law anymore. I spend a lot of time listening to your stories
Loved it.
Thank you Margaret
TY again JD!
Thank you so much, my friend. Hope you have a great day.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller you also. I have some stories for you.

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller You're welcome and thank you! We've seen a big uptick on visitors to the website, so hopefully this will help get the word out and more people will come and experience it for themselves!
@@historicscottcountyjail5396 Analytics on my end show over 20,000 views in 9.5 hours. Im proud to support history and what y'all are doing at the Scott County Jail deserves the attention.
That was very interesting JD, I’m gonna have to go visit. Thank you.

Thanks so much rob hope you’re having a great day, brother
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Thank you and I am and I hope the same for you!
Thank you for all your stories on here
Thanks for listening
Been there done that. 1989 three other black guys and myself were sent to the Scott County Jail from Charlottesville because of overcrowding in the prison system when crack first hit the streets. We stayed there 3 months before being shipped of to the penitentiary
My family is from here. I lived here from birth to 19. I’ve lived elsewhere since then; I’m currently 39 and living in MI. But, this place is legit like the Wild West. Fighting, violence, drugs, clan-like mentalities, dislike for outsiders (a very sort of Scottish clan-like mentality in other words). Rough people, rough environment , rough living a lot of the time. Of course, there’s much good there as well. Some incredible people! Beautiful scenery, vibrant sports community/atmosphere. Also, it was briefly called the “Independent State of Scott” as it seceded from TN and the Confederacy to join the Union. And I may have spent a few nights in the fine establishment featured in this video.
❤️
Great story... I remember hearing stories about Scott County kids always wanting to fight... I don't remember hearing of any though....🤔
Thanks JD 😎👍
Thanks Kathy
Thank you
Thank you for watching my friend
I love it when you post JD.
Thank you Pam !

Thank you 😊
I believe it was in 1981 that the citizens of Skidmore MO took care of a murdering bully who'd terrorized the whole tiny town for years w/o fear of the law. It's a place not overly known for crime. But for anyone unfamiliar with the place, one day a bunch of people in the local tavern swarmed around McElroy when he was outside in plain daylight and finished him off. Forty-plus years later, nobody's yet been found who saw a single thing. That's what happens when officials lapse in their duty to maintain public safety. I'm a reasonably law abiding citizen myself, but I grew up and also spent time as an adult in places where that was really the only recourse people had. In one grease spot on the road in SoCal where I had a small horse farm and served on the town council, the only USPS letter carrier also kept a thriving drug business going on his route. Nothing the town did could rein him in. So one time he just conveniently disappeared, no questions asked either. While I don't think any of US did it, I still knew a whole bunch of people who definitely could've.
Wow! What a story!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - Remind me to tell you a few more someday, perhaps via DM. Suffice it to say that I'm fullblood 2nd-gen Irish American, still well connected to lots of people 'back home'. Y'know what they say, you can take the girl out of Ireland but you can't take Ireland out of the girl. :)
Thank you for the story sometimes local justice is the only justice
@@michaelvarble4392 - I trust everyone understands I'm not speaking of political violence here; that's different. But McElroy had bullied, stolen, raped, and murdered throughout the area for over a quarter century, terrorizing everyone. Having been into sociology most of my life, I was only surprised it took the town that long to put their foot down. At some point it's inevitable. And never pretty.
There are a few movies about this!!
