Build an Obion Three-Day Window
A useful 72-hour inquiry begins with two exact timestamps. A request made Monday afternoon for the “last three days” is not necessarily the same as a request for Friday through Sunday by calendar date. State the start, end, and Central Time. If the purpose is to capture weekend departures, name those dates. If the purpose is a rolling period, use the exact hour and minute. This framing lets the custodian identify an existing log or responsive records without guessing which interval was meant.
The wider window helps gather events entered on different shifts, but it does not cure a wrong classification. A booking row records intake. It cannot be repurposed as proof of departure. A person who vanished from one display may have transferred to another authority, while someone with a court order may remain until the jail processes it and clears other holds.
No Official Obion 72-Hour Feed
The official OCSO Inhouse Inmates page displays “Inhouse list coming soon.” It contains no active roster, release archive, 72-hour filter, update time, booking rows, release fields, or browser photographs. Research found no second sheriff page offering a distinct three-day release list. That means an app screen or unrelated roster cannot be labeled as the county's official 72-hour feed.
The county-specific replacement is a sequence: inspect MobilePatrol under the Obion agency, use Tennessee VINE for a custody-status event, confirm with the jail, and ask for the existing release log bounded by the chosen three days. A court order can explain the legal reason for release. TDOC FOIL can show state correctional status. Neither replaces the jail entry for the actual date and time that Obion custody ended.
These sources answer different questions. VINE transmits an agency event. MobilePatrol offers a booking or status lead. The court controls its orders. The custodian controls the physical release entry. Keep those roles separate when compiling the period.
Check Obion County 72-Hour Releases
Work from the time range toward individual records. This differs from checking one person today. The goal is to identify the full set of existing releases in the bounded interval, then verify the event type for each responsive entry.
- Write the exact three-day interval, including start and end times. Decide whether the request is rolling or tied to calendar dates.
- Check MobilePatrol after selecting the Obion County agency. Treat each booking, status, or photo only as a lead.
- Use VINE to check a specific matched person and source agency. Save the transmitted event wording and time when available.
- Call Obion County Jail and ask whether a named person remains in custody. If not, ask whether the record says release or transfer.
- Request the existing release log for the exact 72-hour span, with recorded release times, dispositions, and receiving agencies where maintained.
- Compare the responsive entries with court orders and successor-custody systems. Do not count a transfer as community release.
For a same-day event that does not need the full weekend span, the Obion County released last 24 hours method narrows the request and emphasizes immediate confirmation.
Obion 72-Hour Release Log Fields
OCSO does not publish a web table with guaranteed fields. The inventory below is therefore a request map for existing jail records. It helps define a usable response while avoiding an open-ended demand that staff research a narrative or create a custom data set.
| Field | Use across the 72-hour period |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | Separates one admission from another and supports identity matching. |
| Booking date and time | Shows when the admission began, which may precede the three-day range. |
| Actual release date and time | Places the jail's custody endpoint inside or outside the chosen interval. |
| Release or disposition code | Classifies bond, time served, dismissal, transfer, or another outcome. |
| Bond information | Describes a pretrial mechanism if recorded, not final case resolution. |
| Court or case number | Leads to the order or docket that explains the legal event. |
| Destination or receiving agency | Reveals continued custody after departure from the jail. |
| Public hold information | May show why one authority transferred the person to another. |
A release code can be abbreviated. Ask the jail for its definition rather than applying a generic meaning. “Released,” “transferred,” “paroled,” “probation,” “bonded,” and “sentence expired” are not synonyms. The destination field is especially important at Obion County Jail because the facility houses local, state, and federal prisoners.
Obion Weekend Release Verification
A Friday-through-Monday review may include court-authorized bond releases, completed local sentences, and transfers that occurred outside ordinary office routines. The research does not establish a special Obion weekend release schedule, so no hour or processing promise should be inferred. Use the actual entry from the jail. If the app changes on Monday, do not assume the person left Monday rather than during the prior period.
Court and jail records also have different clocks. A judge may sign an order before the jail receives and processes it. Staff may then need to check other holds. Conversely, a transfer can occur while the underlying case remains open. The signed order explains the legal basis. The jail record supplies the operational departure time. A VINE notice indicates what the reporting agency transmitted.
For each ambiguous row, call with the person's identifiers and ask one narrow question at a time. First ask if the person is presently held. Next ask whether the recorded event was release to the community or transfer. Detailed documents can follow through the records process.
MobilePatrol Across Obion's 72 Hours
OCSO directs the public to MobilePatrol, but it does not promise that Obion entries stay visible for 72 hours after release. The app can expose public booking information, possible photographs, and status-notification registration. Its role is discovery. A result seen at one moment cannot establish complete coverage for all releases over three days, and a missing entry may reflect spelling, display, lag, retention, or changed custody.
The MobilePatrol Apple listing documents the sheriff-endorsed app channel used in this process.
The image confirms the app source, not an official three-day county archive. Capture the app version, date, selected agency, and visible status when preserving a lead.
Request Obion's Three-Day Release Record
Address the records request to the Sheriff's Office and describe the existing log sought. The Obion County public-records policy provides the local request form and distinguishes inspection from copies. A practical description is the release log for a stated 72-hour interval, including the person's name, booking number, actual release date and time, release or disposition type, and receiving agency or destination if recorded. If no log exists in that form, ask which existing jail record documents releases during the same interval. The office may provide responsive records, explain that no such record is maintained, estimate copy costs, or cite a lawful basis for withholding part of a record.
Before an in-person visit, call because the research found no posted records or lobby hours. The county directory and Sheriff's records sources list two numbers with different labels. Preserve those labels rather than assuming they reach the same desk.

Classify Every Obion Jail Departure
Obion County Jail is a mixed-custody facility. A local detainee may leave on bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, or another lawful order. A state prisoner may leave the building for TDOC custody. A federal pretrial detainee may move under U.S. Marshals Service control and later enter BOP custody after sentencing. If facts support an immigration detainer, an exit can be a handoff, though no Obion-specific ICE facility or agreement was confirmed.
- Community release
- The person leaves the custodian and is not shown as transferred into another confinement authority.
- Transfer
- One facility's hold ends while another agency takes custody.
- Bond
- A pretrial release mechanism; the criminal case usually continues.
- Time served
- A confinement term or credited period has been completed as recorded.
- Parole
- Conditional community release before the state sentence expires.
Search TDOC FOIL when a state felony sentence is involved. For federal custody, separate USMS pretrial control from BOP custody. Use the ICE locator only when a detainer or handoff is plausible. This custody-owner check keeps a three-day release record from overstating who actually entered the community.
Note: A missing roster entry, projected date, court calendar item, or old photo cannot independently prove release during the 72-hour period.
