Find TDOC Release Records

TDOC Releases for Marshall Cases

Tennessee Department of Correction facilities statewide form one custody system, not one Marshall County facility. A person sentenced in Marshall County can be assigned to any TDOC prison, a contracted site, or another authorized setting. FOIL follows that person across state locations. The original Marshall court continues to hold the judgment and sentence.

State release may mean parole, probation after split confinement, determinate release, Community Corrections, mandatory reentry, or another supervised status. Full discharge means the TDOC custody and supervision obligation shown by the relevant record has ended. A move from one prison to another is not release. A TDOC handoff to a county detainer also ends TDOC custody without placing the person in the community.

Search TDOC Marshall Releases

The official Felony Offender Information Lookup covers felony offenders who are or have been in TDOC custody. It is the public starting point for a state-sentenced Marshall County person. It does not cover every pretrial or misdemeanor jail stay, so a failed search may simply mean the person never entered TDOC.

1. Search by TDOC ID or State ID when one is available.
2. Otherwise enter last name, first name, race if useful, and the supported alias option.
3. Complete the case-sensitive image CAPTCHA or audio challenge.
4. Match the person by photo and available identifiers.
5. Read current status and location before interpreting sentence or date fields.
6. Request the archived record when an exact release or discharge event is needed.

The Marshall County released inmate records page shows when to use FOIL instead of the sheriff, court, BOP, or ICE channels.

TDOC Offender Search Fields

FOIL offers both identity-number and biographical routes. An identification number is the strongest way to avoid same-name mistakes. The official introduction verifies current status, location, photograph, and active sentences. The CAPTCHA prevented automated research from confirming every live result label, so no unverified projected-date label should be supplied.

MyTN provides a mobile route through Public Safety and Felony Offender Information. It reaches the state FOIL function. It is not a Marshall County sheriff app and does not create a local 24-hour or 72-hour release list.

TDOC Release Date Meanings

Three dates must remain separate. Release Eligibility Date, often called RED, is the first date an otherwise eligible person may be considered for parole. TDOC calculates it, and the Board of Parole makes the parole decision. A projected sentence or expiration date is an administrative calculation affected by the judgment, jail credit, sentence structure, and legally available credits. The actual release date records the custody event.

TCA § 40-35-501 supplies offense-date and offense-specific release eligibility rules. TCA § 41-21-236 governs sentence-reduction credits. Some specified offenses committed on or after July 1, 2022, fall under a truth-in-sentencing framework that permits only authorized credits and prevents service below an 85-percent floor. That is not a universal Tennessee rule. Later amendments affect relevant categories.

Sentence structure matters. Concurrent terms run together, while consecutive terms follow one another. Pretrial jail credit can reduce time remaining. The controlling statutory version depends on the offense date, and special offense rules can override general percentage ranges. The Marshall County judgment supplies the conviction statute and sentence; TDOC supplies its calculation. Neither should be guessed from a charge description or a simple calendar count.

Detainers, new charges, disciplinary credit loss, rescission, revocation, and calculation correction can change an expected date. Never calculate a promise from sentence length alone. Verify the controlling offense date and statute, then compare the court judgment with TDOC’s actual record.

Request TDOC Discharge Records

FOIL is a discovery tool. For a definitive event, use the TDOC archived records route. Provide requester contact details, the offender’s full name, TDOC or TOMIS number, date of birth and other appropriate identifiers, and a precise description. Sensitive identifiers should be sent only through an official channel and never posted publicly.

Ask for the release or discharge date and type, sentence expiration, receiving authority after transfer, community-supervision dates or status, parole certificate or final disposition where maintained, and a photograph if releasable. Archive charges may apply. TDOC advises requesters not to prepay because Records Management will notify them after the search.

A specific request can identify the release authorization, actual release date, destination, parole certificate, and final supervision discharge. That wording separates a calculated date from the event that occurred. If TDOC transferred the person on a detainer, the receiving-authority field provides the next record to obtain. If the person completed community supervision, the discharge record can distinguish that endpoint from release from prison years earlier.

TDOC Policy 216.01 published inspection and copy terms, but its displayed expiration date requires current-policy verification. Confirm any fee schedule before relying on it.

Marshall TDOC Supervision Office

Marshall County is in TDOC Community Supervision District 50. The Lewisburg office handles state supervision routing as disclosure rules permit. The Tennessee Board of Parole decides parole, but TDOC supervises parolees and state probationers. Marshall County’s separate local probation office handles defined local misdemeanor matters. The judgment and FOIL record identify the proper agency.

The published 615 number is correct even though the office is in Lewisburg and should not be changed to a 931 number. TDOC states that a probationer must report within 48 hours after probation placement or release from split confinement. That immediate duty can follow the jail or prison gate event.

Parole

Conditional service of part of a prison sentence in the community.

Probation

Court-ordered community supervision, sometimes instead of or after custody.

Determinate release

A statutory supervised-release route for qualifying shorter felony sentences.

Discharge

Completion of the relevant TDOC custody and supervision obligation.

TDOC Parole Decision Records

The Tennessee Board of Parole publishes information about hearing types and weekly scheduling. A scheduled hearing is not an outcome. A recommendation may be nonbinding, and a grant can still require release-plan approval or be rescinded. Board Operations maintains final dispositions and parole certificates.

To verify parole, join three facts: final Board action, TDOC current status, and the physical release record. District 50 can clarify local reporting as permitted. A later revocation can begin a new custody episode, so an older release should not be assumed current.

VINE supplies prospective notification for covered TDOC people. Search one person, register for the live channels offered, and complete the displayed confirmation. VINE alerts are valuable, but the maintaining TDOC record remains the stronger source for the exact release or detainer handoff.

TDOC Detainer Handoffs

TDOC Policy 511.03 describes a distinctive event: when TDOC releases a person on a detainer to a Tennessee county facility, continued tracking moves to the county SAVIN layer. TDOC can truthfully report release because its custody ended, while the person immediately enters a county jail. Community release has not occurred.

Obtain the TDOC release authorization and receiving authority, then locate the county booking. Only the later county event may reflect departure into the community. The same method works in reverse when Marshall County Jail sends a sentenced person to TDOC: the county release field is a transfer, and FOIL becomes the active locator.

A receiving record may appear after a short processing lag. Preserve the date and time labels from both agencies rather than forcing them into one timestamp. If the county booking cannot yet be found, contact the named receiving authority and keep the TDOC authorization as the last confirmed event. A later VINE or SAVIN alert can support the chain, but the two maintaining-agency records remain the best proof.

Note: Treat every release label as system-specific until the destination and any detainer are verified.
