The Tennessee Department of Correction announced it is participating in a service that provides the public with criminal case information and custody status of inmates

Chattanooga, TN – According to the statement, this service is called Victim Information and Notification Everyday.

The service will be used in conjunction with TDOC’s current victim notification system.

That system already provides written notice of offender’s location, transfer, sentence expiration, release and parole hearings.

According to the officials, the system will allow crime victims to have more control over the type of notifications they receive and choose the method by which they are notified, according to the Correction Department.

This story will be updated when new information is available.
