Mark Luttrell Release Outcomes
TDOC operates Mark Luttrell Transition Center, commonly shortened to MLTC. A resident may leave state prison custody on parole after Board action and approval of the release plan. Another person may reach sentence completion or discharge under the governing judgment and TDOC calculation. Transfer to another TDOC location is also possible. Each outcome creates a different public record trail.
Parole is conditional community release before sentence expiration. It is not final discharge. TDOC supervises parolees in the community, while the Tennessee Board of Parole makes the parole decision. Sentence completion marks a different point in the sentence record. FOIL can show status and dates, but the archived record is the stronger route for the actual release or discharge type.
Mark Luttrell FOIL Release Check
The TDOC Felony Offender Information Lookup, or FOIL, is the correct public named-person search. It covers current and former felony offenders in TDOC custody or supervision. Search by TDOC ID or State ID when known. A name search asks for last name, first name, race, and may include aliases. Complete the CAPTCHA, then compare the identifiers before reading the status.
- Choose the name, TDOC ID, or State ID search tab.
- Enter the exact information and complete the case-sensitive CAPTCHA.
- Match name, birth date, TDOC ID, SID, aliases, and photo when available.
- Read Supervision Status and Assigned Location before interpreting any date.
- Review Sentence End Date, Release Eligibility Date, and parole fields by their exact labels.
A status of Parole or Probation means the person is in the community under supervision, not inactive in every state system. Inactive is stronger evidence that active TDOC custody or supervision ended, yet it does not narrate the event. If FOIL still assigns MLTC, confirm with TDOC before treating community activity as release.
| FOIL field | What it helps show |
|---|---|
| Supervision Status | Incarceration, parole, probation, inactive, or another TDOC status |
| Assigned Location | Facility or supervision office tied to the current record |
| Release Eligibility Date | Earliest parole consideration under the current calculation |
| Sentence End Date | Sentence endpoint in TDOC's current record |
| Parole Hearing Result | Board result reported for the named person |
Mark Luttrell Records and Contact
TDOC's official facility page lists MLTC at 6000 State Road in Memphis and gives its main phone. Contact the center for current operational questions. Use FOIL and TDOC Records Management for offender-record questions. Do not route a state-prison discharge request to SCSO Records and Identification.

Tennessee Department of Correction
For an old or inactive record, use the TDOC archived offender records route. Identify the offender precisely and ask for existing records such as release or discharge date and type, a discharge certificate, historical locations, sentence computation, and parole-release documentation. TDOC says archive search charges may apply and instructs requesters not to send advance payment.
TDOC Records Management is in the Rachel Jackson Building, second floor, 320 Sixth Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37243-0465. The archive-question number is 615-253-8079. Current forms and portal instructions should be checked before submission.
Mark Luttrell Transition Mission
TDOC states that MLTC changed its mission in 2016 to prepare male residents for transition to the community. The published capacity is 288. Transition phases can include approved community activity. Phase III participation remains part of the prison program when the resident still lives at MLTC.
Capacity is not a daily count and does not prove any named person's status. The mission date provides context for the center's role. The reliable status remains the named FOIL record, verified against TDOC when it appears stale or unclear.
The distinction matters to pickup plans and personal contact. Seeing a resident at an approved community site does not establish parole. Likewise, an approved parole decision does not prove the physical exit has occurred. Pre-release conditions and plan approval can stand between the Board vote and departure.
Mark Luttrell Parole Records
The Tennessee Board of Parole grants, denies, revokes, reinstates, or rescinds parole under state law. A Release Eligibility Date is only the earliest lawful point for consideration. A hearing date is a scheduled proceeding. A grant is a Board action. Physical release follows only after all applicable conditions and plan approval are complete.
FOIL may show Parole Hearing Date and Parole Hearing Result. No separate, comprehensive public decisions search was found in the research. For a formal final decision, use the Board's public-record process with the offender's name and TDOC number. Proof of Tennessee citizenship and fees may apply.
- Release Eligibility Date
- The earliest date an eligible sentence may be considered for parole.
- Parole
- Conditional release into the community before sentence expiration.
- Discharge
- The end of the applicable custody or supervision obligation shown by the agency record.
- Release plan
- The proposed community arrangement that must be approved when required.
Once released on parole, the assigned TDOC field office matters. Shelby County has Districts 70 and 71 at several Memphis locations. FOIL's Assigned Location should guide the contact. Do not send every parolee to the Crump Boulevard office by default.
Mark Luttrell Release Dates
FOIL does not publish a field literally named “Projected Release Date.” It publishes Release Eligibility Date and Sentence End Date. They answer different questions. Eligibility does not promise release, while sentence end does not describe an earlier parole event. FOIL warns that dates may change as more court documents arrive.
TDOC calculations begin with the judgment, offense date, sentence, range, concurrent or consecutive structure, and jail credit. Credits, disciplinary losses, later court papers, detainers, and Board action can alter the path. Tennessee cannot be reduced to one percentage rule. Some offenses and dates have special limits.
Never calculate a personal exit date from a short public summary. Obtain the judgment, read the exact FOIL labels, request TDOC computation when needed, and then seek the actual release record. The site's Shelby County release date lookup explains the difference between eligibility and actual departure.
Mark Luttrell Transfer Context
The Shelby County jail system faces aging infrastructure, unavailable beds, classification pressure, and transfer activity documented in the 2025 CTAS assessment. That county context can cause confusion when a person moves from a local jail to state custody. Once TDOC owns the sentence record, SCSO's current roster is no longer the right released-person search.
A county release entry may mean transfer to TDOC, not community freedom. Search FOIL using the same identifiers and allow for intake lag. If MLTC later disappears as Assigned Location, read the new status and location instead of assuming parole. Another TDOC prison assignment remains custody.
An ICE detainer can also change the destination after one agency's release basis ends. No current ICE detention facility in Shelby County was located, but a handoff may still occur. Check the recorded destination and use the correct federal locator only when facts support that route.
Proving Mark Luttrell Discharge
The best proof aligns three layers. FOIL shows the public TDOC status and dates. The Board record explains parole action when parole is involved. TDOC's archived release or discharge record documents the completed event. A federal or county roster does not replace those sources.
Ask for exact existing fields: date, type, releasing location, post-release supervision, and receiving agency when applicable. Keep the TDOC ID with the request. If records conflict, note when each was checked and ask TDOC to resolve its own record.
A former resident may still have lawful conditions after leaving MLTC. Parole, probation, or mandatory reentry supervision are distinct from incarceration but are not final discharge. State the narrow fact each record proves.
