This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking file. Contact the government office that owns the record.
Choose the Record Owner
A local booking or actual physical-release time belongs with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office. The official county page directs callers to the jail for release dates. No office hours were published for the jail, so call before visiting or mailing a request.

Use the route that matches the question:
- For a Hancock booking, release date, release type, destination, or booking photograph, ask the sheriff's public-records coordinator.
- For a bond order, dismissal, judgment, sentence, jail credit, probation order, or expungement status, contact the criminal court clerk.
- For a state felony offender, use TDOC FOIL and contact TDOC Records Management when the online detail is unclear.
- For felony parole or probation, begin with FOIL and the Hancock-serving TDOC office in New Tazewell.
- For a federal prisoner, use the BOP locator; federal pretrial and judgment records belong with the federal court and PACER.
- For a documented immigration transfer, use the ICE detainee locator. No Hancock ICE facility was verified.
