The Tennessee Department of Correction is a state department responsible for running the correctional system, which involves keeping records of all convicted individuals. These records contain information on former and current inmates, including their release dates, sentences, offenses committed, and more.  

Aside from keeping records, the department allows the public to access the information through the Tennessee offender locator system. Here is how it works. 

Tennessee Inmate Search 

The Tennessee offender locator system allows users to search through the state's online database of inmate information. This Tennessee inmate search tool is available on the TDOC website, where you can conduct your inmate search.  

Users need to enter the inmate's first and last name and TDOC number on the search field to locate an inmate. Once the search is complete, you will receive the results containing the inmate's information including their location, charges, sentence, release date, and more.  

Another valuable tool for locating an inmate in Tennessee is the VINElink automated notification system. VINElink is a national-wide victim information and notification system that allows users to search inmate information in real-time and receive notifications in case of any changes. Its services are available 24/7 and provide information on inmate status, location, and more. 

Besides VINElink and the Tennessee offender locator system, you can also locate an inmate using the various private inmate search services available. Although these systems demand a fee for services offered, they work the same as the offender locator and provide inmate information, including location, mugshots, charges, sentences, and release dates. 

Tennessee Detention Centers 

Aside from prisons, Tennessee also has detention centers and local jails where offenders are held. These facilities are managed by the Tennessee Sheriff Association, an association of sheriffs and local law enforcement. Detention centers house juvenile criminals and offenders awaiting trial or with short-term stays.  

The Tennessee Sheriff Association website lists all local sheriffs and detention facilities and their contact information. You can use this contact information to reach the detention facility or county sheriff and inquire about your inmate.  

Alternatively, you can locate an inmate from the various facility websites. Each detention center has a website where you can search for inmate information using their name and TDOC number.
