Why This Resource Exists
Tennessee provides several public routes to custody and release information, but each office controls a different part of the record. The Obion County Sheriff's Office maintains local booking and release records. The Tennessee Department of Correction operates FOIL for people currently or formerly in state felony custody or supervision. The Tennessee Board of Parole decides parole matters, while TDOC field offices supervise people in the community. Federal release dates belong to the Federal Bureau of Prisons when BOP custody applies.
This site organizes those release records, offender searches, notice systems, and request steps by the question they can answer. It also marks the gaps. Obion County does not publish an official browser-based 24-hour or 72-hour release list, so a missing online name cannot stand as proof that someone is free.
What Readers Can Find
The main resources focus on the difference between an actual custody event and a changing online status. They include:
- The home page's full released-person search and release-record request process
- Obion County Jail contact details and the paths for local, state, and federal custody
- An inmate release date explanation based on Tennessee's Sentence End Date and credit rules
- A VINELink release check for custody notices and notification registration
- Ways to verify parole and probation through FOIL, the Board, and the Union City field office
Limits of This Site
Obion County Released Inmates is a private publication. It has no connection to the Obion County Sheriff's Office, Obion County Jail, TDOC, the Tennessee Board of Parole, any court, or any other government agency.
- It cannot release, hold, or transfer anyone.
- It cannot post bond, arrange visits, or send funds.
- It cannot confirm live custody or obtain an official record for a visitor.
- It does not give legal advice.
- It cannot promise that an address, fee, phone number, or online status has not changed.
Only the agency that holds the record can confirm current custody, a transfer, or an actual release. Check its current record before relying on a result.

Some pages contain search boxes supplied by outside providers. Those providers control their own databases, results, terms, and prices. If a visitor follows a tool and buys a subscription or other paid service, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the public reference pages available, but it does not affect the official sources identified in the editorial content.
