Search Obion County Inmate Population

Obion County inmate population searches begin in Union City, where the jail, sheriff office, and county records contact are all tied to the same local custody trail. The jail page gives you the current housing picture. The jail search page gives you another way to cross-check the name and booking data. The county records page gives you a broader directory route if you need follow-up help. That is useful in Obion County because a fast booking can move from the jail screen to a public records question before the day is over.

Obion County Inmate Population Search

The jail details in the research say the Obion County Jail is a medium security facility that houses adult inmates charged with misdemeanor and felony crimes. It also says inmates are awaiting trial or serving their sentence. That is the core local search answer. The jail address is 1 Law Lane in Union City, and the phone number is 731-885-0277. The sheriff is Karl Jackson, and the sheriff office phone is 731-885-5832. Those details make the county jail the right first stop when a name needs a live custody check.

The research also notes several ways to confirm a booking, including the local roster path, VINE, phone contact, and nearby county checks. That helps when the name is not obvious on the first screen. If a person has been booked recently, the Obion County inmate population result may show up first through one local path and then appear in a broader state notice system a little later. Using those tools together keeps the search grounded.

The first image below comes from the county jail information page and keeps the search tied to the holding facility itself.

The state fallback image below comes from the Tennessee FOIL page because this page does not already contain a safe local official jail link that can replace the removed source.

That keeps the section readable while the page relies on county contact details and state backup tools instead of the removed third-party jail source.

Obion County also uses a public records contact at 214 E Church Street in Union City. That is useful when the search moves beyond a live jail answer and becomes a records question. The county keeps the custody side and the records side close enough to stay practical.

Obion County Jail Records

Obion County inmate population work is still easier when you combine the jail contact path with the county public records contact at 214 E Church Street in Union City. That keeps the search tied to local offices instead of a weak outside directory. If the jail answer is thin, the county contact path can still point you to the right office.

The second fallback image below points to TDOC FOIL, which is the right next step if the local jail answer has already turned into a state custody question.

Use TDOC FOIL when the county booking no longer gives the full answer.

It is the safer follow-up when you want to cross-check a name against an official Tennessee custody tool.

Note: Obion County inmate population searches are easiest when the jail page and the county records directory are checked together.

Obion County Inmate Population and Records

The county statistics in the research show 556 square miles, a population of 30,069, and eight cities, including Union City, Troy, Hornbeak, South Fulton, Rives, Samburg, Woodland Mills, and Obion. That gives the public records trail some width, but the custody question still starts at the jail. The county records page points to local offices in Union City, and the jail page keeps the booking detail in the same county. That is why Obion County inmate population checks stay manageable even when the county covers a broad area.

If the person has moved beyond the county jail, the Tennessee tools become the next step. The state portal at tn.gov/correction.html and the FOIL search at apps.tn.gov/foil/ help when the inmate is in TDOC custody or has left the local jail. VINE at vinelink.com is also useful for custody notices and movement tracking. Those tools do not replace the county jail page, but they help after the local search answer is clear.

The county records page also points to the Tennessee offender search and sex offender registry. That tells you the county page is part of a wider records map, not just a one-off roster page. For Obion County, the cleanest path is still local first, state second.
