The Marshall County Jail Inmate Roster in Tennessee is a public resource that allows you to find out who is currently in custody. MarshallTNCourt.us helps locate publicly available information about current and recently released inmates. Additionally, information can be obtained through the official website of the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, by calling (931) 359-6122, or by visiting the jail in person. The roster allows you to confirm a person's detention, view the charges filed, and the date of arrest. It is maintained by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, and the data is updated as new arrests and releases are processed.
Search Current Inmates in Marshall Jail
There are several ways to check if a specific person is in the Marshall County Jail.
Online Search
- Go to MarshallTNCourt.us to search among publicly available court and jail records.
- Enter the person's full legal name (last name and first name) or booking number if you know it.
- If there is no separate search field, use the browser's "Find on Page" function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to locate the last name in the list.
To search for information about individuals convicted of state-level felonies, use the Tennessee Felony Offender Information Lookup (FOIL) — a database of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
By Phone
Call the sheriff's office directly. Be prepared to provide the full name and date of birth of the person you are looking for.
In Person
You can visit the jail and request information at the visitor reception window during business hours.
Note: Information about juvenile offenders is not displayed in the public roster. If you need information related to cases in the district court, contact the Circuit Court Clerk's Office at (931) 359-0536.
Find Marshall Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created at the moment a detained person is officially processed into the jail. This occurs after an arrest — regardless of whether the arrest was made by the sheriff, Lewisburg Police, or another law enforcement agency.
Each booking record typically includes:
- A unique booking number
- Date and time of processing
- Charges filed
- Name of the arresting agency
- Basic identifying information of the detainee (name, date of birth, gender)
Access these records online through the roster on the sheriff's department website or via MarshallTNCourt.us. If a record does not appear in the online roster — for example, if the person has already been released — submit a public records request according to the sheriff's office public records policy. Requests can be sent in writing or submitted in person at the jail's address.
For cases already transferred to court, court documents are maintained by the Circuit Court Clerk. They also manage the case registry and provide information to state and federal agencies.
Search the Marshall Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The roster supports two main search methods.
Search by Last Name
- Enter the detainee's last name in Latin letters. If possible, add the first name to narrow down the results.
- Ensure correct spelling — even one mistake can result in no results.
- If the system supports partial search, try entering only the first few letters of the last name.
Search by Booking Number
The booking number is the most accurate identifier. If you know it (for example, from a lawyer or a previous request), enter it in the appropriate field. The result should appear immediately.
If the Search Yields No Results
- Check the spelling of the name — try variations with or without a hyphen, different transliterations.
- The person may have already been released, and their record has disappeared from the current roster.
- The detainee may not have been processed yet — there is a time lag between physical arrest and appearance in the roster.
- Call the jail at (931) 359-6122 to verify the person's status directly.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Marshall
The Marshall County Jail roster is not updated instantly. There can be a delay of several hours to a day between the time of arrest and the appearance of the record in the online system — depending on staff workload and the time of day the arrest occurred. Nighttime arrests often appear in the roster only the next morning.
Several limitations should be considered:
- The roster only displays those currently in custody at this moment. It is not an archive of all past arrests.
- After a person is released, their record usually disappears from the public list within a short time.
- Errors in data entry (incorrect name spelling, missing middle name) occur and can complicate the search.
- The hearing schedule in the Parole Board for County Jails may also change, affecting the inmate's status.
To obtain archival records or information about individuals who have already been released, submit an official public records request according to the Marshall County public records policy. In the request, provide the person's full name, approximate date of arrest, and any other known identifiers. The response is provided within the timeframes specified by the Tennessee Public Records Act.
