Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Release Records

Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Release Paths

Women's Therapeutic Residential Center houses state offenders under the Tennessee Department of Correction. A physical exit may place a person on parole or another recognized community-supervision status. A sentence may later expire or the public record may become inactive. Each label carries a different meaning. Parole ends prison confinement while the sentence continues under conditions. Discharge concerns the end of the controlling sentence or supervision authority shown in the state record.

Not every departure is release. Movement from WTRC to West Tennessee State Penitentiary's broader complex or another TDOC prison remains incarceration. The public result should then show an incarcerated status and a new location after the data updates. WTRC's operational connection with WTSP does not erase the facility name, and it does not turn residents into county-jail inmates. The Lauderdale County sheriff does not control this state-prison exit.

Confirm Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Release

Start with TDOC FOIL. The official system covers felony offenders currently or formerly in TDOC custody or supervision. It may display a photograph, status, location, offenses, sentence information, parole-hearing status, and release information. The service does not promise the same field set for every person. A blank field is a reason to use TDOC's records channels, not a reason to estimate a date.

Search by name or a TOMIS/TDOC ID or State ID. Complete the CAPTCHA and compare date of birth, photograph, offense, and identifier before selecting a result. The Lauderdale County released-inmate pathways help when a person might instead have been in the sheriff's jail, but known WTRC custody requires the state route.

1. Enter the exact name in FOIL, or use the state identifier when available.
2. Match the result to WTRC using identity facts and the recorded facility or location.
3. Write down the exact status and every date label, along with the date the search was made.
4. If a date is unclear, use TDOC Sentence Information and choose the state-prison branch.
5. For an older record, submit a focused archived-record request with the known custody period.

FOIL's value is its ability to display former and supervised state offenders, not merely people inside a prison today. That makes it the right public starting point for a WTRC release. Read the exact text. Incarcerated means state confinement continues. Parole means physical prison custody ended but the person remains supervised. Probation is a court status and cannot, by itself, prove that the person left Women's Therapeutic Residential Center.

The official FOIL overview does not guarantee a universal “Projected Release Date” field. Results may use Release Eligibility Date, sentence expiration, or other sentence and release labels. Eligibility is not the door date. Expiration is not necessarily the same as the start of parole. An inactive status also deserves supporting sentence or archived records when the precise form of release matters.

Eligibility

The point at which law may permit a release step or consideration.

Actual release

The event when physical prison custody ends.

Sentence expiration

The end of the sentence term under the official computation.

Inactive

A TDOC status that must be read with its displayed dates and facts.

Note: Preserve WTRC as the originating facility even when mail, telephone, or administrative materials also name West Tennessee State Penitentiary.

Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Records Contact

The official WTRC handbook places the facility at the Green Chapel Road state-prison complex in Henning and lists the complex telephone. TDOC's prison-tour contact page lists a WTRC Executive Secretary telephone. These are facility and program contacts, not a promise that staff will disclose individual protected records. Public status should start with FOIL, and sentence or historical questions should go through TDOC's official request channels.

A focused request should supply the committed name, TOMIS number when known, approximate WTRC custody dates, and the precise sentence, release, transfer, or discharge record sought. Send sensitive matching details only through the official secure channel. TDOC says archive-search charges may apply and instructs requesters not to prepay because the agency will notify them after completion.

Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Sentence Records

Use the TDOC sentence-information request when FOIL does not explain a date. The official portal separates a felony offender in state prison from a felony offender in a county jail. A WTRC inquiry belongs under the state-prison choice. That distinction prevents the request from being routed as if Lauderdale County Sheriff were the timekeeper.

TDOC calculates release eligibility and credits under Tennessee law. The result depends on the offense, offense date, sentence range, classifications, judgments, consecutive terms, jail credit, retained or lost credits, detainers, and Board action. There is no safe blanket rule that all Tennessee prisoners serve 85 percent. Some offenses and date ranges use 85-percent or 100-percent requirements, while other calculations differ.

For a defensible date, capture FOIL's exact label, obtain the judgment and offense date, and ask TDOC to explain the state computation. A projected or eligibility date can change. It should not be treated as a fixed pickup appointment, especially when a parole plan, disciplinary credit change, hold, or court order remains unresolved.

Note: TDOC prison credits should not be copied into a Lauderdale County misdemeanor calculation, and county rules should not be applied to WTRC.

Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Release Supervision

When FOIL shows parole or probation, Lauderdale County is served by TDOC District 61 in Dyersburg. The office is at 2155 St. Johns Avenue, Dyersburg, TN 38024, with telephone 731-288-7910. The TDOC directory says it serves Dyer and Lauderdale counties and marks the location as new as of November 3, 2025. Call to confirm current office logistics.

The Tennessee Board of Parole makes parole decisions, while TDOC supervises parolees and probationers. A sentencing court imposes probation. Those roles remain separate even when one FOIL record contains parts of the public status trail. A Board grant can precede release while a plan awaits approval. District 61 context becomes relevant only after the official record supports a supervision status.

Staff may not disclose protected supervision details simply because someone asks. For a final parole decision, use the Board's records process with the person's name and TDOC number. For the physical exit and current public status, use FOIL and the appropriate TDOC release or sentence record.

Women's Therapeutic Residential Center Federal Transfers

A WTRC release to ICE or another federal custodian is a transfer rather than a return to the community. Preserve TDOC's destination and exit information, then confirm the receiving agency's custody event. ICE's online locator focuses on current detention and is not a history of releases. No match can result from spelling, age, timing, transfer, or system scope and does not establish freedom from custody.

Historical ICE custody, transfer, or release records may be requested through ICE FOIA when authorized and necessary. A federal Bureau of Prisons search answers only BOP custody. It cannot replace TDOC's record of what happened at Women's Therapeutic Residential Center. Maintain separate timestamps for the state exit and federal intake so the handoff is not mislabeled.

Lauderdale Women's Center Release History

Lauderdale County holds three distinct custody paths: the sheriff's jail in Ripley and the WTSP/WTRC state complex near Henning. WTRC is a named women's TDOC facility or unit on the West Tennessee State Penitentiary grounds. TDOC mail guidance routes WTRC mail through WTSP, confirming the operational link. Release research should still retain WTRC's name because the person's institutional history matters when records are compared.

West Tennessee State Penitentiary opened in 1990 and operates across minimum-to-maximum custody. WTRC adds a distinct state-prison path within the same county. TDOC reported 120 education and training graduates at WTSP and WTRC in June 2025. That is pre-release and reentry context only. It does not prove a named participant was released, granted parole, or eligible for a program.

The local mix explains why a broad “Lauderdale release” search is prone to errors. A county-jail bond release, a WTRC parole, a state sentence expiration, and a prison transfer are different events controlled by different records. For an older state record, use the TDOC archived-record route. Identifying WTRC and TDOC at the start prevents the sheriff's local jail process from being applied to a state offender.
