Inmate Lookup

Looking for someone at Perry County Jail in Tennessee? Start with the Perry County Court Clerk's online records at tncrtinfo.com. Use the Search feature to look up a person's name and review case details. Depending on the record, you may see party names, case entries, and charges—but the exact fields vary. Keep in mind that public online listings aren't always complete or updated in real time, so what you see may not reflect current custody status. For recent activity, check alternate views like recent bookings or admit/release lists where available. Try common spelling variations if your first search comes up empty. When online records don't give you a clear answer, call the appropriate records desk (court clerk, sheriff, or jail records) during business hours.

Need to contact Perry Co Jail or other county services? The Perry County website directs you to the "Contact Us" form in the top menu rather than a single public email address.
