Check CDC-M Release Records

CDC-M Davidson County Releases

CDC-M holds men in the DCSO network, including locally sentenced people. A person may return to the community after sentence completion or another authorized release. The person may instead move within DCSO or transfer to TDOC. Work, treatment, or program participation does not itself end custody.

Ask DCSO for the exact release time, disposition, and destination. If a felony sentence moved to state custody, FOIL may show incarceration at a TDOC location even though the county episode ended.

Confirm CDC-M Release Status

Start with the county source because CDC-M is a county jail, not a TDOC prison. The DCSO Recent Bookings page covers admissions in a rolling 48-hour span and includes a release-date column.

1. Search recent bookings and match name, birth date, and control number.
2. Open Details and read facility, admission, booking, charge, sentence, and release fields.
3. If absent, call 615-862-8123 for current and released offender information.
4. Ask for release date, disposition, and receiving custodian.
5. Request “Incarceration Date (Release Papers)” for documentation.
6. Compare the Criminal Court Clerk docket when the court event matters.

The Davidson County release search covers state, federal, and immigration follow-up when the CDC-M record shows a transfer.

CDC-M Release Records Contact

CDC-M.s Harding Place address is useful for identifying the facility, but release-record service is centralized. The Offender Information Center handles current and released offender calls around the clock. The separate records center accepts documentary requests during weekday hours.

Use the DCSO request channel and give the name, approximate dates, control number or OCA, and exact record sought. No fee or turnaround is promised on that page, so request an estimate.

CDC-M Custody and Programs

DCSO operates CDC-M for male detainees and offenders and provides programs there. Research supplies no current capacity suitable for publication. Status must be checked person by person.

A move into work or treatment programming remains custody unless DCSO records a formal release. The facility field is a snapshot and may change after classification. Request movement history when the route from DDC to Harding Place matters.

CDC-M Sentence Completion Records

Locally sentenced men may leave CDC-M when DCSO's official computation and the judgment authorize release. Tennessee law permits local sentence credits in qualifying cases, but DCSO publishes no calculator or county policy detailed enough to predict one person's date.

Request the sentence computation and release paper. Compare them with the court judgment, jail credit, and any hold. Do not project an exit by adding a fixed term to the admission date.

CDC-M Release Property

DCSO guidance says ordinary clothing worn to jail is inventoried and stored, and the property receipt should be kept. Property can be released to a family member under the stated process. Remaining commissary money is issued on a debit card at release.

Property clerks check the active JMS release list, confirm identity by fingerprint or mugshot, obtain signatures, and record the handoff. Property may go to the released person or the next law-enforcement custodian. That last option is another reason release processing does not always mean return to the community.

CDC-M Immigration Transfers

A DCSO release can be a transfer to immigration custody. A historic ICE agreement names the former Davidson County Jail at a different address, but old facility names and agreements do not establish current custody. Check the DCSO disposition first, then use the ICE locator when a transfer is recorded.

An empty ICE result is not conclusive. Agency updates, spelling, identifiers, and custody stage can affect results. Report the DCSO event and the separate ICE check without merging them.

CDC-M Facility Name Changes

Davidson's jail names changed in 2020 when DDC opened, Hill Detention Center closed, MCC populations moved, and a former annex was repurposed for women. Legacy lists can point to a closed or renamed building.

Use the current DCSO detail's facility field and current individual facility pages. When a requested record uses an older name, include the dates and control number so staff can match the same custody episode.

CDC-M Movement Is Not Release

CDC-M provides programs for men in DCSO custody. Movement to a class, treatment setting, work detail, or another Harding Place unit does not close the booking. The facility field may change as classification and program needs change. A person can move within the campus while remaining in the same county custody system.

Ask whether DCSO recorded a release date or only a movement. When destination matters, request the movement and release history for the same control number. That record can show whether the person remained in county custody, transferred to TDOC, or entered the community.

CDC-M to TDOC Transfers

A locally sentenced man can remain under DCSO, while a felony sentence may move into state custody. Search TDOC FOIL when DCSO identifies a state transfer. FOIL can show incarceration, parole, probation, or inactive status, plus assigned location and sentence information.

A DCSO release date and FOIL incarceration can both be accurate. The first closes county custody; the second identifies the next custodian. Use the exact status shown. Do not describe a release eligibility date as a promised exit.

CDC-M Release Record Fields

The county detail can include control number, facility, admission, arrest booking, final booking, release date, active charges, and sentencing text. Ask for the entire booking episode when the online view has rolled off.

Read jail and court records together. DCSO establishes physical custody, while the judgment explains the sentence or court action.

After a CDC-M Release

A community release can still involve probation, parole, mandatory reentry supervision, or another court date. Probation is court-ordered supervision. Parole is Board-authorized early community release under TDOC supervision. Neither means unconditional discharge.

Use FOIL for state supervision and the clerk docket for pending county cases. A blank active jail search proves only that no matching current DCSO result was found at that time.

Request CDC-M Release Papers

The DCSO request form lists “Incarceration Date (Release Papers).” Give the full name, approximate admission and release dates, and control number or OCA. Ask for disposition, destination, and movement history when the difference between a program move and a release matters.

DCSO publishes no set fee or turnaround on the page. Ask for an estimate and response date. The records center at 610 W Due West Avenue in Madison is open 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, while the information line is available around the clock.

Match CDC-M Court Records

The Criminal Court Clerk record explains bond, judgment, sentence credit, dismissal, or later court events. DCSO records physical custody. A judge's order may come before release processing ends, so the timestamps can differ without conflict.

Use the control number and dates to identify the booking, then compare charges with the correct court case. If another hold or consecutive sentence appears, ask DCSO whether the episode ended by transfer rather than community release.

Confirm CDC-M Release Completion

DCSO publishes no fixed release time. Call before traveling and ask whether processing is complete and which exit instructions apply. Report the DCSO event, court status, and any next custodian as separate facts.

CDC-M Property Handoff

DCSO guidance says ordinary clothing is inventoried and a property receipt should be kept. Remaining commissary funds are issued on a debit card at release. Staff verify identity and may give property to the released person or a receiving law-enforcement custodian. That second route can confirm that release processing ended in a transfer rather than community return. Ask DCSO which person or agency received the property when destination is unclear. Preserve the receipt with the release papers because both belong to the same custody episode.

Match CDC-M Release Identities

Compare name, birth date, control number, admission date, and facility before relying on a result. Similar names are not enough. The control number connects the public detail to DCSO calls, release papers, and movement history.

If CDC-M does not appear on the latest detail, ask whether classification moved the person to another DCSO unit. A changed facility field may reflect county movement, not release. Keep the observation date with any saved result because operational records can update.
