Choose the Right Cocke Office

The Cocke County Sheriff and Detention Center are the first contacts for a local booking, movement, transfer, or release entry. The official administrative address is 111 Court Avenue, Newport, TN 37821. Call the Sheriff at (423) 623-6004 or detention staff at (423) 623-9043 or (423) 613-9128. Posted public-office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Because Cocke detainees may be housed outside the county, ask staff to name the current physical custodian before contacting or visiting a facility.

For a court order or case disposition, the Circuit Court Clerk is at 111 Court Avenue, Room 201, Newport, TN 37821, (423) 623-6124, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The General Sessions Court Clerk is at 111 Court Avenue, (423) 623-8619, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Use these routes to find the right source:

  • For a released person or local release record, begin with the home search and records path, then contact Cocke detention.
  • For supervision after release, use the Parole / Probation contacts and TDOC District 20.
  • For a same-day release window, see Released Last 24 Hours; Cocke publishes no confirmed official feed.
  • For timing or alerts, compare the Inmate Release Date source with the VINELink Release Check.
  • For a specific jail, use the Cocke County Detention Center or Jefferson County Workhouse page in the footer.
  • For a Tennessee felony offender, use TDOC FOIL and TDOC Records Management at (615) 253-8079.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator and confirm the responsible agency.
