Greene County VINE Arrest Coverage
VINE is a notification service first. You pick Tennessee, search by name or TDOC number, open Record Details, and request alerts. Those steps come from the state Department of Correction. Alerts arrive by text, email, TTY, or automated phone call. The service covers TDOC custody, and the state lists no Greene County jail feed.
That split matters. Tennessee VINE and the TDOC FOIL lookup follow someone in state felony custody or state supervision after a case moves past the county. Local bookings stay with the Greene County jail. A federal inmate belongs in the Bureau of Prisons locator, and ICE runs its own detainee search. No single arrest database catches everything.
Confirm new Greene County bookings with the jail directly.

Search Tennessee VINE After Arrest
VINE answers one question: is this specific person in custody? Use exact identifying details, since common names return many matches.
- Open the VINE route linked by TDOC and select Tennessee.
- Search by the person’s name or TDOC number when known.
- Compare every available identifier before choosing a match.
- Open Record Details and read the custody system and status.
- Use Get Notified only for the correct record.
- Keep the registration confirmation and follow the service’s instructions for changes.
A blank result does not mean no arrest happened. The person could still be in Greene County custody, held on a misdemeanor, sitting in another jurisdiction's jail, or simply absent from state data. VINE misses fresh county bookings. For the booking record itself, start with the Greene County arrest record routes.
VINE Fields After a Greene County Arrest
Fields vary with the participating agency. Tennessee’s TDOC materials support the following state-custody uses.
| Field or action | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | Starting identity field; compare more than the name |
| TDOC number | State offender identifier, not a county booking number |
| Custody status | State status at the latest reported update |
| Record details | Information tied to the selected state record |
| Get Notified | Registration entry for custody-change alerts |
| Delivery channel | Text, email, TTY, or automated call |
TDOC FOIL shows its own set of fields: custody, probation, parole, or inactive status, location, offense, sentence, parole hearing dates, and release details. An offender photo sometimes appears too. These are correctional records, not the county file. A TDOC photo may not match the original Greene County booking photograph, and the official FOIL interface supports name and state identifier searches.
The search belongs to Tennessee’s correctional system, not the Greene County jail.
Register Greene County Custody Alerts
Register only after the right state record is open. Alerts cost nothing, so pick a channel you can check safely and often.
- Open the correct person’s Record Details page.
- Select Get Notified.
- Choose text, email, TTY, or automated phone delivery as offered.
- Enter and confirm the requested contact details.
- Follow any confirmation or PIN instructions shown by the service.
- Keep the record identifier so the registration can be checked later.
An alert supplements a safety plan. It does not guarantee notice before anything happens. Data delays, agency practice, or a failed contact can slow delivery. Statewide help runs around the clock at 888-868-4631. Follow official sign-up steps, and read the TDOC VINE launch notice on the statewide service rather than trusting a look-alike site with sensitive details.
The state announcement backs the search and alert flow, though it never confirms a live county jail feed.
VINE Arrest Check Limits
VINE never replaces the Greene County Detention Center. For a fresh county booking, call 423-798-1802. Ask whether intake is finished, whether the person stays in custody, and where a formal booking-record request should go. The Arrested Today page lays out the same-day sequence. Federal custody is a separate world. VINE does not substitute for the Bureau of Prisons locator, and ICE holds sit in their own system. A person moves from county pretrial custody into TDOC only after later case events. Not every arrest ends in a state sentence. So match the search to the real status. The Greene County Circuit Court Clerk handles the court route, while the booking office keeps the intake record. Match identities with care. Verify anything urgent by phone. Never lean on one automated message when safety rides on the answer.
