Blount County 72 Hour Booking Portal

Blount County has one of the better online inmate search systems in East Tennessee. You can access it at blountrecords.us/inmate-search. No login needed. Just type in a name and see what comes up. The system lets you search by name or browse the full roster in alphabetical order.

Each record shows the inmate's full name, sex, race, and age at booking. You also see the intake date, criminal classification (pretrial felon, non-sentenced misdemeanor, and so on), and booking number. Charges are listed with bond amounts and court jurisdiction. Some records include mugshots. The search pulls from the current inmate list, so if someone bonded out already, they may not show up. For recent bookings within the last 72 hours, filter by time if that option is available.

The portal is free and open to the public at any time of day or night.

Every booking record lists each charge separately with the bond set for it. You can see whether the charge is a misdemeanor or felony from the classification field. Under Tenn.
