Moore County VINELink Coverage
Tennessee uses VINE, reached through VINELink, for custody information and automated notifications. TDOC confirms that state-prison custody changes feed the service. The state also says many county jails use VINE, but it does not say that every jail participates. No Moore County government page was found that expressly confirms a live local feed.
Coverage therefore has to be read from the exact result. A Moore County jail match should identify Metro Moore County Jail or the local supplying agency. A state felony match may identify TDOC. If the result names another agency, it proves only what that agency transmitted. A release notice can mean the supplier stopped holding the person, while another county, TDOC, BOP, or ICE took custody.
VINE is free and confidential according to TDOC. It is designed for one-person status checks and alerts, not a full historical list of Moore County releases. For older local events, the jail booking and release sheet and court docket are usually more complete.
Search One Moore County Inmate
Begin at the Tennessee VINELink search. Use the full legal name or an offender ID. Search results can contain similar names, so do not choose a record from name alone. Compare the reporting agency, location, and any available identity details. Open the record only after those points align.
- Select Tennessee and choose the person or offender search.
- Enter the full name or offender ID. Try a documented name variant if the first search returns no result.
- Review every plausible match. Compare the agency and location before choosing one.
- Open the exact record and copy the custody status and event date as labeled.
- Record the reporting agency and access time. Those details show which custodian supplied the event.
- Contact the jail or TDOC if the status is unclear, delayed, or inconsistent with another official record.
A no-result search is not proof of release. It can reflect spelling, timing, participation, or record rules. A person with a short Moore County jail stay may not have a TDOC record. Conversely, a Moore County defendant sent to state custody can appear under TDOC even while housed outside the county.
The full Moore County released inmate search routes a named case through the jail, court, FOIL, federal, and immigration channels when VINE alone does not settle custody.
Moore County VINELink Release Fields
Available fields depend on the participating agency. Read each label without expanding its meaning. Custody status describes the supplying record. Location identifies the agency or facility tied to that record. An event date may concern release, transfer, or another change. VINELink is not the authoritative court file or sentence computation.
| Field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Name and offender ID | Keys used to distinguish the selected person |
| Reporting agency | The jail or corrections body that supplied the status |
| Custody status | The agency's current displayed relationship with the person |
| Location | The listed facility or agency, when provided |
| Event information | A reported custody change and its displayed date or time |
| Notification options | Channels available for that eligible record |
A released result should be written with its source: released from Moore County Jail, released from TDOC, or transferred from one custodian. It should not be shortened to “free” or “all custody ended.” A county release record can state the release reason and receiving agency. FOIL can show the TDOC status and sentence fields. The court docket explains the legal order.
Note: Preserve the exact status text and source agency because a later transfer can make a once-correct alert easy to misread.
Register Moore County Release Alerts
Registration attaches to a particular eligible offender record. Tennessee SAVIN identifies phone, email, TTY, text, web, and mobile channels. Not every channel or event will appear on every record. Enroll only after the reporting agency and identity match.
- Open the correct person record and choose Register for Notifications.
- Select the offered phone, text, email, or app route.
- Enter the contact destination carefully and choose available custody events.
- For phone registration, create or retain the four-digit PIN. Never share or publish it.
- For email or text, complete the verification link or code shown by the service.
- Save the confirmation and update registration if contact information changes.
On a telephone alert, entering the PIN acknowledges the notice and protects enrollment management. Email registration does not use the telephone PIN. Tennessee VINE support is available around the clock at (888) 868-4631, with TTY support at (866) 847-1298. Support can address enrollment, but only the reporting agency can certify the underlying custody event.
Confirm Moore County VINE Alerts
VINE warns users not to rely on notification alone. Agency data can lag. A message may arrive after the physical event, and a reported release may be a transfer. An expected notice may also fail because the record was not eligible, the contact method changed, or the supplying agency did not send the expected event.
For a local event, ask Moore County Jail whether the booking closed by community release or transfer and request the release reason, time, authority, and receiving agency if recorded. For state custody, FOIL can show Supervision Status, Assigned Location, Sentence End Date, Release Eligibility Date, and Parole Hearing Result. Read those fields together.
VINELink does not replace the BOP locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A federal prisoner must be checked through BOP. A possible immigration transfer must be checked through ICE. The Tennessee VINE result also does not clear another warrant, court hold, or detainer.
Moore County Victim Notification Layer
Moore County's distinctive notification issue is that Tennessee has a strong statewide VINE service, while no local government page expressly confirms Moore County Jail's current feed. The exact matched record must identify the local reporting agency before a result is called a Moore County jail alert. This keeps statewide TDOC coverage from being mistaken for universal county coverage.
TBI's SAMS Track directory also lists the Moore County Sheriff's Department as a victim-services contact at the Elm Street location. It is a contact layer, not a person-level release archive. The county's current public phone, (931) 759-6464, is the first jail call. An older SAMS directory number should not displace it.
After a named alert, preserve the name or ID searched, source agency, check time, exact status, and event date. Then ask the source agency to confirm whether the event was community release, transfer, or another custody change.
Moore County Registry Differences
The TBI Sex Offender Registry and Drug Offender Registry are separate offense-based systems. They are not general release lists. A qualifying person may appear because state law creates a registration duty, not because a recent Moore County discharge occurred.
The TBI Sex Offender Registry can show a photo, offender ID, primary address, status, classification, and offenses. TBI says registering agencies provide the data and the system updates daily. Presence can confirm a displayed registration relationship as of the access time. It does not prove when county or state custody ended.
The official registry search is shown below as a distinct state channel.

The registry image reinforces why a registration result must not be described as a VINELink release notice.
Tennessee VINELink Release Search
The official Tennessee VINELink page is the proper starting point for a Moore County named-person check.

The captured search screen supports a one-person lookup and alert registration, not a countywide list of everyone released.
When Moore County VINE Says Released
A released status or alert has a narrow meaning: the agency that supplied the matched record reported a custody event. The notice may establish that Moore County Jail no longer held the person, or that TDOC reported a state custody change. It does not rule out a transfer, detainer, separate charge, supervision term, federal custody, or immigration custody.
Ask Moore County Jail for the named booking's release screen when the reporting agency is local. Useful existing fields include admission date and time, release date and time, release reason, releasing authority, and destination or receiving agency. If the event was a transfer, follow the receiving custodian. A court docket can explain bond, dismissal, sentence, or probation, but it may not show the physical walk-out time.
For a TDOC result, use FOIL to compare Supervision Status, Assigned Location, Sentence End Date, Release Eligibility Date, and Parole Hearing Result. Parole or probation indicates community supervision, not the end of the sentence. Inactive may reflect a closed state relationship, but the detailed record and TDOC should resolve the reason.
Missing Moore County Release Alerts
An expected alert may not arrive. The record might not have been eligible, the local agency may not participate, the event may not yet have been sent, or a contact route may not have been verified. A name mismatch can also hide the correct record. None of those outcomes proves that the person stayed in custody.
Return to the saved enrollment confirmation. Verify the phone number, email, or text route, and use VINE support for account issues. Search the person again with the offender ID if known. Then contact the reporting agency. For Moore County Jail, ask whether the booking remains open and whether it closed by release or transfer. For TDOC, compare FOIL and request the relevant state record when needed.
Past events need records, not only alerts. Request the local booking and release sheet for a Moore County jail event. For older state history, TDOC's archived record process can supply existing documents subject to retention and exemptions. A VINE registration is best used to watch a future eligible change.
Note: Keep enrollment active until the source agency confirms the custody event, and never publish the confidential four-digit telephone PIN.
