Why This Resource Exists
Tennessee makes many government records open under the Tennessee Public Records Act, but the records are not kept in one database. Grainger County Sheriff’s Department documents local jail custody and release movement. The Tennessee Department of Correction runs FOIL, its search for people currently or formerly in state felony custody or supervision. The Tennessee Board of Parole makes parole decisions, while TDOC Community Supervision manages field supervision. Federal release information appears through the Federal Bureau of Prisons, not the county portal.
This site organizes official release-record sources, lookup routes, contact details, and request steps around that division of responsibility. It also explains a key local limit: Grainger’s tested jail routes did not provide a dependable recent-release archive or a labeled release date. Readers can use the available booking details to identify the right person, then seek the actual movement record from its government custodian.

Limits of This Site
Grainger County Released Inmates is privately run. It is not connected with Grainger County, the Sheriff’s Department, the detention facility, TDOC, the Board of Parole, any court, or any other government agency. We do not hold official files and cannot make a government decision.
- We cannot release, detain, or transfer a person.
- We cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds for a visitor.
- We cannot offer legal advice or interpret an order for a specific case.
- We cannot promise that an address, phone number, office hour, fee, or online status has not changed.
Only the responsible sheriff, correctional agency, or court can confirm current custody, charges, release, or an official record.
Search Partners
Some pages contain search boxes supplied by outside providers. Those companies set their own prices and control the records their tools return. If a visitor follows a tool into a paid signup, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the public reference pages available without charge, but it does not give us control over a partner’s fees, data, or results.
