VINE Coverage for Marion County
Tennessee's program is TN SAVIN, the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification service. The Tennessee Sheriffs' Association says every one of the state's 95 counties takes part. To use it, go to VINELink or call 1-888-868-4631. The service is free and runs around the clock.
That statement covers Marion County through the statewide system. The state publishes no Marion-only feed-status screen or separate data contract. Results still depend on the record being present, synced, and searchable under the identifying details you enter.
VINE is not a mugshot source. Tennessee's public description promises no booking photo, while the Marion iSOMS roster does display one. Use VINE for status and alerts. Use the official jail portal for the county booking entry.
The TN SAVIN information page details statewide participation and the types of notifications offered.

VINELink is the statewide service that covers Marion County arrest notifications.
Run a Marion VINE Arrest Check
Search one person at a time. Tennessee's VINE materials allow a search by offender name or offender ID. The Sheriffs' Association adds that a local booking number can help narrow the match. Field labels can change. Follow whatever the live screen shows when you search.
- Open VINELink and choose Tennessee as the state.
- Enter the offender name or the identifier accepted by the live form.
- Review each possible match instead of choosing on name alone.
- Compare status, facility, identifier, and other available identity details.
- Open the matching record and read the update time or status context shown.
- Call the VINE hotline or Marion County jail if the result is unclear or urgent.
The VINELink page opens with a state choice.

What Marion County VINE Shows
VINE covers custody information, not a full arrest file. A live result can identify the person, the holding agency, the custody status, and an offender or booking identifier. Notification options attach to qualifying custody changes. The exact field set lives in the live system and can shift.
| Result element | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Name | Confirm spelling and compare other identity details |
| Offender or booking ID | Distinguish people with similar names |
| Custody status | Read the current system status, not a court outcome |
| Facility or agency | Identify the custodial organization shown |
| Notification option | Begin registration for supported status changes |
| Update context | Consider possible synchronization delay |
VINE is not a full booking record. It also does not replace a court docket. For the final case disposition, check the Marion County clerk.
Register for Tennessee Custody Alerts
After you locate the right record, use the live "Get Notified" control or its equivalent. Tennessee supports phone, email, text, and TTY alerts. Registration usually asks for a contact method. It may also assign a confidential PIN to manage notifications. Keep that PIN private, and never use another person's contact details without authority.
- Confirm the correct offender record before starting registration.
- Select the available release, transfer, escape, or custody-change notices.
- Choose a supported phone, text, email, or TTY contact method.
- Create or enter the confidential PIN requested by the service.
- Complete any confirmation step and save the service instructions.
- Update or cancel the alert through VINELink or the hotline when no longer needed.
Alerts help, but technology can lag or fail. Do not stake an immediate safety need on a single notification. The TN SAVIN hotline at 1-888-868-4631 has live operators 24 hours a day, per state materials.
Fresh Marion Arrests and VINE Lag
A newly booked person often shows up first on the sheriff's live systems. Marion iSOMS offers a last-24-hours event view, a current roster, a 72-hour view, and name search. VINE depends on data moving into a separate statewide service. Nothing public promises both systems update at the same moment.
For a fresh arrest, start with the Marion County same-day arrest view. Then check the current roster. If time matters, call Corrections at 423-942-8012. A missing VINE result can mean lag. It can also mean a different name spelling, or a person outside the covered system. It does not prove the arrest never happened.
The sheriff's roster handles a fresh county booking. Use VINE for status and alerts, and the jail line for urgent conflicts.
County Jail and TDOC Alerts
The state program spans county and state custody, and people move between the two. The Tennessee Department of Correction announcement tells users to select Tennessee. Then search by name or offender ID, and register for supported notifications. TDOC FOIL is a separate locator. It covers people now or formerly in state custody or supervision.
A Marion County booking never lands in FOIL just because the charge is a felony. FOIL matters once a person enters a qualifying TDOC status, often after a conviction. A FOIL profile can include an offender photo, location, sentence, parole details, and status. That photo may differ from the county booking image.
Each tool answers a different question. The roster shows the local jail display. VINE handles status and notifications, while FOIL covers TDOC custody or supervision. Know the stage before reading a no-result response.
Federal Custody Is Separate
Tennessee VINE stops at the state line. For federal inmates, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator instead. The BOP system reaches back to 1982. It lets you search by federal register number or by name. It shows where an inmate is held and current status. Booking photos are not part of it. A federal charge alone does not put someone in BOP custody. So check rather than assume. The ICE Online Detainee Locator works separately too. Search it with an A-number and country of birth. Or use an exact name plus country and date of birth. The DHS VINELink site is its own system, not the Tennessee county jail search. No public feed ties Marion County bookings to ICE holds.
| Question | Correct channel |
|---|---|
| Is a new Marion booking online? | Marion iSOMS and Corrections |
| Can I get a release or transfer alert? | TN SAVIN through VINELink |
| Is the person in TDOC custody? | TDOC FOIL and Tennessee VINE |
| Is the person in federal prison? | BOP inmate locator |
| Is the person in ICE custody? | ICE detainee locator |
Verify Every Marion VINE Match
Two people can carry the same name in Marion County. Match on identifier, location, and status together instead of trusting one field. Is the live screen confusing? Call the statewide service or the custodial agency listed there. The Marion County Sheriff's Department main line is 423-942-2525. Corrections can be reached at 423-942-8012. A release or transfer notice only tells you where a person stands in custody. Court outcomes live in the Marion County court record, not in VINE.
Names can be deceptive on their own. Always confirm the details behind a match.
