Local Custody and Court Contacts
For a recent Grainger County booking, start with the Sheriff’s Department. Its detention staff can route a question about current physical custody or the custodian of a movement entry. The clerk handles court orders and dispositions, not the jail’s exact exit time.

Choose the Right Record Holder
Use the route that matches the question and custody system.
- For a named local release or movement record, use the home page’s full search and records-request path, then contact the sheriff.
- For parole or probation routing, use TDOC FOIL and the Dandridge supervision office.
- For a recent-release window, ask the sheriff for the movement record because no dependable 24-hour Grainger feed was verified.
- For a projected Tennessee felony date, use TDOC FOIL and the responsible TDOC records office.
- For custody-change alerts, register with Tennessee VINE and use its support line when needed.
- For a federal sentenced person, use the BOP Inmate Locator; for an immigration detention concern, use ICE’s locator and the listed field office.
- For a local order, dismissal, judgment, bond matter, or probation order, contact the Circuit Court Clerk in Suite 114.
