This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record.
Choose the Record Custodian
Lake County has a county jail operation and a state prison, so the correct contact depends on who held the person. For a local booking or departure, use the Lake County Sheriff's Department. For NWCX or another Tennessee felony record, use TDOC. A court clerk can explain access to an order or judgment but cannot replace the jail's physical release entry.

Use these routes for the request at hand:
- For a named released person or booking/release record, start with the home page search and request steps.
- For supervised community status, use Lake County parole and probation and call the assigned District 61 office.
- For a recent county-jail window, read the 24-hour release list fallback; Lake County publishes no verified official feed.
- For eligibility or sentence dates, use projected release date. For an alert, use the VINELink check.
- For NWCX, use FOIL and TDOC Records Management. For Lake County Jail, use the sheriff.
- For federal prison custody, use the BOP locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE locator and confirm an inconclusive result with the accepting agency.
The Tiptonville courtesy-reporting location is at the Lake County Courthouse, 229 Church Street, Tiptonville, 731-253-7137. It is not listed as a full walk-in field office. A person under supervision should call the assigned officer before going there because no general walk-in schedule was verified.
