Check Turney Center Industrial Complex Releases

To find someone released from Turney Center Industrial Complex, use Tennessee state prison records rather than a county jail roster. The main institution is a state correctional facility in Hickman County, and its release path follows statewide corrections procedures. A public offender result can show status, location, sentence milestones, and supervision. The actual departure requires stronger confirmation. Release authorization, an agency event, and post-release supervision records answer different questions. Matching them prevents a prison transfer, parole decision, or projected date from being mistaken for a completed Turney Center Industrial Complex release.

Turney Center Industrial Complex Release Path

Turney Center Industrial Complex, commonly called TCIX, is operated by the Tennessee Department of Correction. It holds sentenced state prisoners. It is not an extension of Hickman County Jail. A person leaving TCIX may discharge from TDOC custody, enter parole or another form of community supervision, or transfer to a different TDOC institution. A detainer can also send the person to another authority. Each outcome changes which record should be checked.

A community release is best established by combining a nonincarcerated status in TDOC's public system with an operational release record or agency event. TDOC Policy 511.03 uses the CR-1947 Offender Release Authorization and same-day checks. That record can identify the date of release, the staff member releasing the person, the person or agency receiving them, detainers, records verification, property and funds, signatures, and gate checks. A transfer alone means state confinement continues.

Confirm Turney Center Industrial Complex Release

The official TDOC FOIL page covers current and former felony offenders in TDOC custody or supervision. Open the Felony Offender Information Lookup search, then use a name or an identifier. A TDOC ID or State ID Number is safer than a name alone. If searching by name, include aliases when a prior name may matter and compare the date of birth and agency identifiers before opening a result.

  1. Search FOIL by TDOC ID, SID, or full name and aliases.
  2. Match the person's date of birth, identifiers, and assigned location.
  3. Read Current Status and Supervision Status before interpreting any date.
  4. Compare Assigned Location, Sentence End Date, Release Eligibility Date, and Parole Hearing Result.
  5. Check Tennessee SAVIN for an agency-reported release or transfer event.
  6. Request the CR-1947 authorization when an exact actual release must be documented.
Transfer is not release. If FOIL lists another TDOC location, the person left TCIX but remained incarcerated in the state prison system.

FOIL can show incarcerated, parole, probation, or inactive status, plus location and sentence details. It can also display a correctional photo or “No Photo Available.” A photo can help separate candidates, but it is not identity proof and never confirms release. Use the Hickman County released inmate search path only when the originating custody is unclear. A local-only county jail episode may not appear in FOIL.


Turney Center Industrial Complex Release Dates

FOIL uses the exact term Release Eligibility Date, or RED. It is a computed date when release or parole consideration may become possible under the sentence. It is not the actual date a person walks out of TCIX. Sentence End Date is another field. Parole Hearing Result is a third. These values describe different stages and must be read with Current Status, Supervision Status, and Assigned Location.

A Board of Parole grant still does not confirm gate release. Pre-release requirements can remain, and a proposed release plan may need approval. The TDOC release-procedure policy requires same-day review of sentence attributes, sentence expiration, unprocessed or new sentences, out-to-court flags, and detainers. If central confirmation is missing or records conflict, release does not proceed under the checklist.

Release Eligibility Date
A calculated milestone for possible release consideration, not a promise.
Parole grant
A favorable Board decision that can still require plan and program completion.
Date of Release
The actual release date recorded on TDOC authorization.
Sentence End Date
A sentence field that must be read with credits, status, and later court documents.

FOIL warns that dates may change when TDOC receives more court documents. New sentences, sentence conflicts, credit changes, or a detainer can alter the expected path. For precise proof, seek the actual authorization rather than treating RED as the answer.


Turney Center Industrial Complex Release Records

The CR-1947 record is the strongest documented TDOC gate-release path in the research. It can contain the offender's name, TDOC number, photograph, sentence dates, RED, maximum dates, detainers, pending charges, intended address, released-by and released-to fields, signatures, and records, property, funds, GPS, and gate checks. Some information may be withheld or redacted under applicable law. Ask for the releasable portion tied to one offender and one release.

For an older TCIX event, use the TDOC archived-record request. Include requester contact information, the full name, TDOC or TOMIS number, date of birth, and a detailed record description. TDOC says archive-search charges may apply and instructs requesters not to prepay. Request the CR-1947 Offender Release Authorization, release checklist or confirmation, sentence computation detail, release type and date, and any releasable photograph.

TDOC sourceWhat it answersMain limit
FOILPublic status, location, dates, parole result, photoRED and status are not the gate log
CR-1947Actual authorization, date, released to, checksRequires a focused TDOC records request
SAVINAgency-reported release or transfer eventNotification service, not guaranteed archive
Community SupervisionPost-release parole or probation layerApplies only when supervision exists

The archived-record route is statewide. Hickman County officials do not create or hold the TDOC prison release authorization merely because the main prison sits inside the county. Keep the request with the agency that created the record.

The image identifies the state institution and its official TDOC channel. It is not an inmate result, a release list, or proof that any named person has left custody.

TDOC Records Management handles archived release material at the Rachel Jackson Building, 2nd Floor, 320 6th Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37243-0465. Questions about archived requests go to 615-253-8079. For post-release parole or probation routing, use the TDOC Community Supervision field-office directory.


TCIX Main Site and Annex

The institutional name can hide an important county line. TCIX began in 1971 as Turney Center for Youthful Offenders, passed through later names, and adopted its current name in 2008. The main campus at Only is in Hickman County. The separately named TCIX Annex is at 245 Carroll Road in Clifton, which is in Wayne County. A shared TDOC administrative name does not make the annex a Hickman County facility.

Location matters when checking a result or planning contact. Compare FOIL's Assigned Location and the release record with the exact campus. Do not route an annex question to the Hickman county jail simply because “Turney Center” appears in the record. The Hickman County Jail release route is a separate county system for local bookings, while both TCIX campuses remain state prison operations.

The official profile describes TCIX as a time-building prison for male minimum through close-custody prisoners, with an operating capacity of 1,574. “Time-building” refers to sentenced prison custody, not a county holding function. Educational, treatment, technical and college study, industry, transition-related, and service-animal programs are part of the institutional setting. Program participation may relate to preparation, but it does not prove a release date or guarantee parole.

Turney Center Industrial Complex After Release

A person released on parole leaves prison confinement but remains under community supervision. Parole is conditional release from a prison sentence. FOIL may show the supervision status, and the assigned TDOC Community Supervision office becomes the operational contact. A person discharged from all TDOC obligations may instead appear inactive. Read the status and dates together, then use the release record for the actual event.

SAVIN can add a notification event. Register against the correct TCIX or TDOC record before the anticipated event, and compare the identifier and facility. A reported release should prompt direct verification. The notification does not rule out a move to another agency, and old event visibility is not guaranteed.

If a detainer or pending charge appears on CR-1947, identify the receiving authority. County, federal, and immigration systems have separate records. No federal prison or ICE detention center was verified as physically located in Hickman County, but another sovereign can still assume custody after TCIX. “Released to” is therefore as important as “Date of Release.”

Note: Pair FOIL status with the actual TDOC authorization whenever the difference between transfer, supervision, and full discharge matters.
