Q: Is it possible to get someone out of prison after doing half the sentence in Tennessee. He never got credit for county.

He had a plea deal. The DA told him to take the deal or they would give him more time at trial.

After the plea deal they added 3 years to his sentence. He pled guilty to auto theft and got 25 years. He is housed with another inmate who got the same sentence for 2nd degree murder.
