Cannon County Jail Release Records

Cannon County Jail Release Routes

Cannon County Jail is a county jail operated by the Cannon County Sheriff's Office. A person may leave through bond, recognizance, time served, completion of a local sentence, dismissal, probation placement, or another court-approved community disposition. Those paths may return the person to the community. The jail's release entry should show when local custody ended and, if recorded, why.

Other exits are transfers. Movement to the Tennessee Department of Correction, another county jail, federal custody, or another agency closes the Cannon booking while confinement continues. A TDOC backup prisoner housed at Cannon remains physically in county custody until moved. Transfer to a state institution is not a community release. The receiving agency's record becomes the next source, and each handoff should be traced before the person's status is described.

Confirm Cannon County Jail Releases

No official public Cannon County roster or recent-release feed was found on the county's Sheriff pages as of August 1, 2026. That means there is no official web list to check for a disappearance from custody. Even if a live roster later appears, removal from it would not explain whether the person went home, transferred, or was held on another matter.

1. Call the Cannon County Sheriff's Office at (615) 563-5934 with the person's full name, date of birth if known, and approximate booking date.
2. Ask whether the person was released to the community or transferred to another custodian.
3. Request the date and time, reason or disposition, and destination that may lawfully be disclosed.
4. Check the Cannon County court file for the judgment, dismissal, bond order, probation order, or sentence entry.
5. If a transfer occurred, search the named state, county, federal, or immigration system.
6. Use Tennessee SAVIN/VINELink as a custody-event check, then confirm the event with the reporting agency.

The Cannon County released inmate search explains the full county, TDOC, court, VINE, and federal paths. For this jail, the Sheriff's own release or transfer record remains the most direct evidence of the local exit.

Note: A transfer closes the Cannon booking without proving that the person entered the community.

Cannon County Jail Release Contact

The official county Sheriff page places the jail and Sheriff's Office at the same Woodbury address. The University of Tennessee CTAS directory supplies Sheriff Darrell Young's direct office contact and email. No official local source states public lobby hours or release-processing hours, so callers should confirm when records help is available.

CTAS spells the road “Alexandria Drive,” while Cannon County uses “Alexander Dr.” Both official sources identify Sheriff Young at the Woodbury sheriff location. Use the county spelling as primary and keep the CTAS spelling as an alternate search or mailing note. The difference does not indicate a second facility.

Cannon County Jail Release Records

Cannon County does not publish a sample jail release record, field dictionary, or Sheriff-specific request form. A narrow request should ask for the existing booking sheet, custody-history entry, release authorization, release-log entry, bond-release record, transfer record, and associated booking photograph. Identify the person precisely and avoid asking the agency to create a new explanation.

Ask for an electronic copy when available and a cost estimate before chargeable duplication. The county site supplies no posted Sheriff copy fee, named records coordinator, retention period, or guaranteed response time. Tennessee public-records rules govern inspection and copy requests, but local details must be confirmed with the custodian instead of inferred.

Cannon County Jail Court Dispositions

The jail record and the court file answer related but distinct questions. A release entry shows the physical exit or transfer. A judgment, dismissal, bond order, probation order, or sentence entry shows the legal basis. The Cannon County Circuit Court Clerk handles filing, processing, and final disposition for General Sessions criminal and Circuit criminal cases.

The Clerk's office is at 200 West Main Street, Woodbury, TN 37190, and the phone number is (615) 563-4461. Published hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Public dockets help identify scheduled activity. They are not a complete release history or proof that someone physically left the jail. Obtain the final disposition and compare it with the Sheriff's timestamped entry.

Note: The court order and jail timestamp should be read together when the exact exit matters.

Cannon County Jail Transfer Checks

A transfer destination controls the next search. Use Tennessee FOIL for a person who entered TDOC felony custody or supervision. FOIL may show incarcerated, parole, probation, or inactive status, along with assigned location, sentence end date, and release eligibility date. It may return no result for a person whose Cannon stay involved only a local pretrial or misdemeanor matter.

Another county transfer must be checked with the receiving county. For federal sentenced custody, the BOP locator may display “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody,” but that means only that BOP custody ended. A federal pretrial detainee under Marshals authority may be better traced through the federal court docket and detention source. ICE's locator covers current detainees and people released from ICE custody within its stated 60-day window. A Cannon entry saying the person was released to an agency should be read as a transfer until the receiving record proves otherwise.

Tennessee SAVIN/VINELink can provide a custody-change event when the participating custodian supplies a record. “Released,” “transferred,” and “escaped” are distinct events. Match the person, reporting agency, and event type, then confirm the destination through the jail or receiving system.

Cannon County Jail Release Context

Cannon County's 2026 growth and readiness plan says the jail is within Woodbury, averages about 50 prisoners, and was uncertified when the plan was prepared. A separate May 2025 Tennessee Corrections Institute table records Cannon with status “R,” an inspection on May 21, and a July 15 reinspection. The code is left unexpanded because the report legend was not used in the research.

These are dated administrative facts, not evidence about a named person's record. Certification can change. Average population is also not the same as annual bookings or releases. No official local publication found during research supplied annual release or turnover counts.

The TDOC jail reports page provides the source context for county inspection and summary material.

The report source helps place Cannon County Jail in the state reporting framework. It does not replace an individual release entry from the Sheriff's Office.

Cannon County Jail Facility Scope

Official state jail-summary and inspection material identifies one Cannon county-facility line. The county site does not establish a separate annex, workhouse, municipal jail, state prison, federal detention center, or ICE detention facility within Cannon County. Woodbury officers may make arrests, but the researched sources do not substantiate a separate municipal holding site suitable for its own release path.

The absence of a separate facility is not a claim that Cannon County never holds a person for another authority. A local booking can still involve a detainer, federal interest, a TDOC backup placement, or pickup by another county. Those circumstances should appear in the release or transfer record. The named receiving agency determines which system must be checked next.

No official source states where released people exit, where family may wait, whether transportation is arranged, how property is returned, or how weekend and holiday releases are processed. The jail also posts no public release hours. These practical details should be confirmed by phone. Facts from another Tennessee jail should not be applied to Cannon County Jail.

The research also found no official local bond schedule, jail good-time policy, booking-photo fee, release-log retention period, Sheriff mobile app, or release-focused social feed. These are valid questions for the Sheriff's Office, but they cannot be answered from another county's practice. A commercial directory is not an official Cannon County Jail publication and cannot establish the reason, destination, or exact time of a release.

Note: Unpublished operational details should be confirmed directly with Cannon County Jail before a visit or request.
