Official Clay County Contacts

The Clay County Sheriff's Office is the first contact for current local custody, the jail register, release orders, movement entries, and a booking photograph. Two official directories give different street addresses, so call before visiting or mailing. No verified records-unit hours or county-specific copying fee was published in the research sources.

The Clay County court clerk holds the criminal docket, judgments, bond orders, probation orders, dismissals, and expungement orders. Confirm counter hours and any search, copy, or certification fee before travel.

State felony custody and sentence records belong to the Tennessee Department of Correction. The main office can direct a formal records question, while FOIL supplies public offender status online.

Choose the route that matches the question:

• For a named local release and records-request steps, use the Clay County release search.
• For field supervision, use Parole & Probation and TDOC District 31.
• For a same-day local check, use the 24-Hour Release List fallback and call the sheriff.
• For a calculated state date, use Projected Release Date; for alerts, use VINELink Check.
• For a Clay County Jail record, a statewide TDOC record, or a limited registry entry, use the relevant system page in the footer.
• For a sentenced federal prisoner, use BOP; for immigration custody, use ICE only when facts identify that transfer.
