Contacts

Scott County custody, release, court, and supervision records come from different public offices. The right contact depends on who held the person and which document is needed. Jail status and local release records belong with the Sheriff. Court orders come from the clerk. State felony and discharge files belong with TDOC, while parole decisions and community supervision use separate state contacts. These official routes can answer record questions that a private reference site cannot resolve or confirm.

This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm current custody or release, release anyone, post bond, or pull an official booking record. Contact the public office that created the record.


Official Record Contacts

Start with the office that created the record. The Sheriff handles Scott County jail custody and release questions. The county coordinator receives Tennessee Public Records Act requests. The clerk maintains the criminal court file, while TDOC holds state offender, discharge, and supervision records.
