Find Roger D. Wilson Releases

Roger D. Wilson Releases

Roger D. Wilson is the Knox County Sheriff's Office primary adult detention facility. Someone leaving this jail may go to the community after bond, a court order, time served, or sentence completion. The person may instead be transferred to another county jail, the Tennessee Department of Correction, federal custody, or immigration custody. Each event ends KCSO custody at this facility, but only the first group is a community release.

The destination matters. A transfer should never be described as freedom from custody. If KCSO no longer lists the person and TDOC's Felony Offender Information Lookup later shows an incarcerated status, the sound reading is a county-to-state transfer. A VINELink event can also name a release or transfer from the source agency. When the destination is unclear, ask KCSO for the existing release or commitment sheet and any public transfer-agency field.

Confirm Roger D. Wilson Release

The KCSO Inmate Population page answers a narrow question: whether the person appears in current Knox County custody when checked. A match points to continued KCSO confinement, subject to ordinary data lag. No match is only a clue. KCSO publishes no official released-person archive, so the next steps must seek a positive custody-ending event.

1. Search the current KCSO population with the full name and compare the date of birth, IDN, charge, and facility.
2. Check TN SAVIN/VINELink for the same person and note whether the source reports release, transfer, or another custody change.
3. Call Roger D. Wilson at 865-281-6700. Provide the name, date of birth if known, IDN, and last known facility.
4. Review the Knox court disposition or bond order, then ask KCSO Records for the actual release record when written proof is needed.

A court order supplies the legal basis for release, yet it may precede physical processing. Other cases, warrants, holds, paperwork, or transport can affect what happens next. The strongest confirmation joins the court event to a KCSO release entry or a source-specific VINE notice. The broader Knox County released-inmate search explains how state and federal systems fit when the person moved beyond KCSO.

Note: A future KCSO due-out time is scheduled information, not proof that the person completed release processing.

Roger D. Wilson Release Records

For documentary confirmation, contact KCSO Support Services and Records at the City/County Building. A focused request is easier to locate than a broad demand. Give the person's full name, date of birth, KCSO IDN or booking number if known, the approximate custody dates, and Roger D. Wilson as the facility. Ask for existing records rather than asking staff to create a new report.

Under the Tennessee Public Records Act, request inspection or an electronic copy of the existing booking sheet, commitment or release sheet, actual release field, public transfer field, and any other named item needed. Ask for a cost estimate before chargeable work. KCSO's published incident-report hours and three-working-day statement concern incident reports; they are not a universal promise for jail release records. If prompt production is not practical, state law provides a seven-business-day response framework for production, a written denial, or a reasonable-time estimate.

Roger D. Wilson Records Contact

The detention line is best for present status. The records office is the route for a retained document. Staff may limit what they can say by phone, and a partial response does not prove release. Ask whether KCSO currently holds the person, whether the last event was community release or transfer, and which unit keeps the written release sheet.

For the legal order behind a release, the Knox Criminal Court Clerk maintains Criminal Court, General Sessions Criminal, and Fourth Circuit records. The daily docket is a scheduling tool, not a full historical disposition search. Request the judgment, bond order, dismissal, sentence, jail-credit entry, or other case document that explains why release was authorized, then pair it with KCSO proof of the physical custody change.

Roger D. Wilson Release Property

KCSO publishes practical rules for property and funds after custody. A released inmate receives a debit card for the balance in the inmate money account. If the card or funds are not available at release, the published pickup point is Roger D. Wilson. Unclaimed money is transferred to Tennessee as unclaimed funds after one year. These details can help resolve a post-release task, but they do not reveal the release door or prove the precise exit time.

Personal property may be released around the clock. Money release is limited to normal weekday business hours and requires a Property Transfer Receipt. A family member handling a property transfer should follow KCSO's current instructions before traveling, since the property process and custody-status process answer different questions.

Community release

The person leaves custody rather than entering another agency's confinement.

Transfer

One custodian releases the person directly to another custodian.

Detainer

A hold asking the present agency to keep or transfer a person for another authority.

Discharge

The end of a custody or supervision term under the controlling record.

Roger D. Wilson Release Paths

Use the system that matches the custodian. FOIL is useful only if TDOC custody or supervision is involved. A parole, probation, or inactive TDOC status does not prove the exact time KCSO released someone, while an incarcerated status can show that the person remained confined after leaving Knox custody. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE locators serve separate federal systems and should not replace the county record.

Identity checks remain vital. Match date of birth, middle name, suffix, KCSO IDN, case, and facility. A photograph can help, but it should not stand alone. Record the access date and use precise language such as "released from KCSO custody" rather than making a claim that no source can support across every jurisdiction.

Roger D. Wilson Record Limits

KCSO's public current list has no stated post-release retention period and is not a historical archive. Sealed, expunged, juvenile, medical, victim, security, and other protected information can be withheld or redacted. An agency need not create a new compilation. If part of a record is denied, ask for the legal basis and for any reasonably separable public portion.

The live KCSO fields also need careful reading. “Booked/Served” and “Document Type” describe process events, which may occur while a person is already held. Bond Type and Bond Amount show a court-authorized route, but payment, approval, another charge, or a detainer may prevent immediate discharge. Court Date and Court Event describe scheduled activity, not the final ruling. Even a booking photograph only ties an image to the booking at the source time. None of those items replaces the actual Roger D. Wilson release date, release reason, or destination.

For an older event, include an approximate custody period with every known identifier. That gives KCSO Records a practical way to locate the right booking and reduces mistaken identity. If the person later entered state custody, TDOC Records Management can search archived offender material by name, TOMIS number, date of birth, and a detailed record description. Ask TDOC for a release authorization, sentence computation, discharge entry, or movement history only when state custody is part of the timeline.

Conflicts should go back to the source. KCSO corrects its booking and release data, the Clerk addresses its court entries, and TDOC handles FOIL or TOMIS information. Supply the exact identifier, disputed field, and supporting source document. That approach preserves the line between a current roster clue and an official Roger D. Wilson release record.

Note: KCSO's 24 Hours In Custody page covers arrests and custody events, not a completed-release list.
