Union County 72-Hour Releases
The official county Sheriff and Jail page does not expose a three-day released-person report. The separate Sheriff’s site also lacks a browser roster, released tab, and 72-hour archive. Neither source states a refresh cadence, how long a released entry remains visible, or whether older app entries can be recovered. The result is an evidence-limited finding: no official web feed was located on the pages reviewed. It is not a claim that Union County keeps no release data.
A three-day inquiry should ask for existing records covering a defined date and time range. Call Union County Jail at 865-992-6262 to confirm whether a named person remains in local custody or left during the interval. Ask if the recorded event was bond, time served, sentence completion, probation, or transfer. Then contact Sheriff records at 865-992-5212 for the booking and release record. The official records address is 130 Veteran’s Street, Maynardville, TN 37807. No separate jail street address is published, so call before visiting.
Check Union County 72-Hour Releases
The wider interval is most useful when a likely release date is uncertain or spans days when office activity may not appear online at once. Since no browser list supplies one batch of names, treat each person as a custody event. A request can name the approximate booking or release period. If only a date range is known, explain it to the records custodian and ask for records already kept within that scope.
- Set the window. Write down the start and end date and time for the 72-hour interval. This prevents a court authorization outside the range from being confused with later physical departure.
- Check local custody. Call the jail with the correct spelling and approximate booking date. Ask whether Union County custody ended during the interval and whether a transfer followed.
- Request the record. Ask Sheriff records for the existing booking and release entry, including the date, time, authority, type, and destination if maintained.
- Confirm the order. Search the local case and obtain the bond, dismissal, judgment, sentence, probation, or transfer-related order that explains the jail event.
- Trace the next custodian. Use FOIL for TDOC, the named jail for another county, ICE ODLS for an immigration handoff, or federal court and BOP sources for federal custody.
For an event that likely occurred today, use the Union County same-day release check. A person-specific inquiry beyond the three-day period belongs in the broader Union County released inmate lookup, which separates county, state, federal, and immigration sources.
Note: Preserve the start and end of the three-day interval, not just the calendar dates searched.
Union County Release Record Fields
Because no official 72-hour report was found, Union County has no verified online field list for that window. The requested items below come from the research inventory for a useful release record. They should be framed as fields sought from records staff. A jail management entry, booking and release sheet, transport record, bond document, or court order may divide the information across more than one record.
| Field to request | Why it matters across 72 hours |
|---|---|
| Identity and booking number | Links several dated records to the correct Union County booking. |
| Admission date and time | Shows when local custody began and helps distinguish separate bookings. |
| Release date and time | Places physical departure within or outside the selected three-day period. |
| Release authority or type | Separates bond, court order, time served, probation, sentence expiration, and transfer. |
| Destination or receiving agency | Tests whether county custody ended in community release or continued custody elsewhere. |
| Case or charge reference | Connects the jail event to the court order without treating an arrest charge as the final outcome. |
A bond release does not end the case. Time served refers to a sentence calculation. Probation is court-ordered supervision in the community. Transfer means one custodian’s possession ended as another began. A detainer is a hold from another authority and can cause a direct handoff. These labels matter more than a bare date because they explain what “released” meant for that event.
Union County Weekend Release Checks
A 72-hour period often crosses a weekend or holiday, but no official Union County source states that releases occur at set times or that web data follow a special weekend schedule. Courthouse office hours are published for weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Those hours must not be rewritten as jail release-processing hours. The jail line remains the source for custody status, while the records office and clerk provide the durable documents available through their procedures.
The Union County case portal can help identify the file after a multi-day gap. The Circuit Court Clerk maintains dockets, minutes, judgments, and orders. A bond order may precede actual release by hours. A sentence or dismissal may also require jail processing before physical custody ends. If the portal summary is unclear, request the operative document rather than guessing from an entry label.
Do not assume the third calendar day is an archive cutoff. No reviewed source says a Union County released entry remains visible for exactly 72 hours. The period belongs to the inquiry, not to a verified county publication cycle.
Note: Weekend or holiday timing should be confirmed by event and source, not inferred from courthouse office hours.
Union County Release Data Gaps
Union County’s lack of a browser roster or 24-hour and 72-hour archive is a distinctive local constraint. The official pages do not identify release-report columns, photograph use, update cadence, retention, or archive behavior. A current name search may fail because of spelling, a data delay, transfer, release, record correction, or an expungement-related change. None of those possibilities can be selected from absence alone.
The Sheriff site promotes MobilePatrol, yet the site does not document a Union-specific three-day release view. An app listing or general description cannot establish that released entries remain for a given period. Anyone checking the app should select the actual Union County agency, record the time, and note exactly which label and fields appear. The observation still needs a jail or records check when the outcome matters.
A three-day window also cannot be reconstructed from news reports or unofficial lists as proof. A report may omit an event, repeat an old arrest, or lack the final court action. The custodian’s record and court order remain the better sources.
Union County Release Records Route
A public-records request should identify the person, known booking identifier, and approximate 72-hour range. Ask for an existing booking and release record with date and time, type or authority, and destination or transfer agency. The agency need not create a custom list or draw conclusions. If copies are needed, ask for the current request policy, form, Public Records Request Coordinator, delivery choices, and a cost estimate.
The Tennessee Public Records Act guidance explains that inspection is ordinarily free and that copy fees may apply. Statewide guidance lists $0.15 per black-and-white page and $0.50 per color page, plus labor after the first hour, unless the entity documents a higher actual cost. Readily available records should be provided promptly. Otherwise, within seven business days the custodian should produce them, deny access in writing with a basis, or give a written time estimate.
The state public-records guidance supports the timing and fee framework used for a Union County request.
The screenshot does not contain a Union County release list. It documents the official state process used when no local three-day report is online.
If a copy is denied or redacted, ask for the legal basis in writing. Provide enough identifiers to prevent a namesake match, but do not publish sensitive identifiers. Ask staff to confirm the correct entrance before visiting because 130 Veteran’s Street is published for the Sheriff’s Office, not as a separately verified jail address.
Union County Release Source Order
A dated jail or records confirmation is the right start for a local stay. The court order then explains why custody ended. Tennessee VINE can report a participating custodian’s change, especially when registration happened before release, but it is not a permanent history. A VINE non-result may reflect nonparticipation, a name mismatch, lag, transfer, or data no longer displayed.
Use TDOC FOIL only when state felony custody or supervision is relevant. FOIL covers current and former TDOC offenders and may show incarcerated, parole, probation, or inactive status plus sentence and release information. Someone who had only a brief Union County pretrial or misdemeanor stay may never appear there. For older TDOC material, request archived records rather than forcing the county event into the state system.
- County release record
- The durable record of the local jail event, including the type and destination when maintained.
- Court order
- The legal action behind bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, or another disposition.
- VINE notice
- A participating custodian’s report of a custody change, not a certified historical archive.
- FOIL result
- A TDOC custody or supervision record for a current or former state felony offender.
Note: A source is strongest when its custodian, event time, check time, and matching identifier are all clear.
Union County Release Custody Differences
“Released from Union County Jail” describes the end of that jail’s control. It does not always describe freedom from custody. A person may go to the community after bond, a court order, sentence completion, or probation. A felony sentence may lead to TDOC. Another county warrant may cause a jail transfer. A federal writ may lead to USMS custody, while an immigration detainer may lead to ICE.
| Three-day finding | Correct interpretation | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Still held locally | No completed Union County release event has been confirmed. | Jail line and current booking information. |
| County record shows community release | Local custody ended under the recorded authority. | Court order and any supervision record. |
| County record shows TDOC transfer | County custody ended but incarceration may continue. | FOIL and TDOC records. |
| County record shows ICE or federal handoff | The local event was a transfer, not proof of community release. | ODLS, federal docket, USMS, or BOP as appropriate. |
The BOP locator applies after federal designation and can show a past release date with location marked RELEASED. It does not cover all earlier USMS detention. ICE ODLS covers current detainees and people released from ICE custody within a limited recent period. A non-result after that period proves no outcome. For another county transfer, call the receiving jail named in Union County’s record.
