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 office responsible for the event directly.
Choose the Record Custodian
A local release can touch the Sheriff, court, and TDOC systems, but each office can verify only the record it maintains. Start with the event being checked, then use the matching contact below.
Unicoi County Sheriff’s Department
1570 Jackson Love Highway
Erwin, TN 37650
Mail: P.O. Box 8, Erwin, TN 37650
Phone: 423-743-1864
Email: sheriff@unicoicountytn.gov
Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Use the Sheriff for current custody in either local jail, booking and physical-release times, release codes, destinations, transfers, holds shown in the jail record, and local booking photographs. Ask staff to search both Unicoi Jail (M) and Unicoi Annex (F) when the building is uncertain.
Unicoi County Circuit Court Clerk
100 N. Main Avenue
Erwin, TN 37650
Mail: P.O. Box 2000, Erwin, TN 37650
Phone: 423-743-3541
Email: uccourtclerk@gmail.com or uccircuitcourt@gmail.com
Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., excluding holidays
Use the Clerk for case numbers, bond or detention orders, dispositions, judgments, sentence credits written into an order, dismissals, later court orders, and certified court copies. The Clerk cannot promise that another agency has no hold.
Tennessee Department of Correction
320 Sixth Avenue North
Nashville, TN 37243-0465
Phone: 615-741-1000
Use FOIL first for a current or former felony offender. Contact TDOC or use its archived-record route for state custody history, release authorization, sentence computation, supervision status, and discharge records. TDOC does not certify the physical exit from a purely local misdemeanor booking.
TDOC District 10
195 Freckles Court
Johnson City, TN 37601
Phone: 423-434-6800
District 10 serves Unicoi and Washington Counties. Use it for public confirmation of a current community-supervision assignment and reporting directions. It is not a jail records office and does not decide parole.
Tennessee Board of Parole
500 James Robertson Parkway, Fourth Floor
Nashville, TN 37243-0850
Phone: 615-741-1150
Use the Board for parole hearing schedules, hearing procedure, posted-result questions, and decision-appeal procedure. TDOC, rather than the Board, handles day-to-day supervision.
VINE and SAVIN Support
Phone: 888-868-4631
System help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to TDOC.
Use VINE support for search or notification-registration trouble. An alert is not a certified release record, and support cannot convert it into one.
For a known person, these internal references help identify the right path:
- The home page covers the released-person search and local release-record request.
- Post-release supervision explains FOIL, Board, and District 10 roles.
- 24-hour releases explains the exact-period Sheriff request when no official feed is published.
- Release date lookup and VINE inmate check separate date fields from event alerts.
- The facility pages identify the male jail and female annex record routes.
- Use FOIL for a sentenced Tennessee prisoner or former TDOC felony offender.
- Use the BOP locator for federal prison records and ICE ODLS for current immigration custody.
