Q: How do I find out how much time my son has in jail in Tennessee. Online it says he is on probation that was a month ago
I called around and no clear answers. I am in Florida and don’t know what to do.the information online is wrong and I am starting to think he is lost in the system. Is there any number or person I can call to help. Tried Williamson jail where he is they said he is state property looked online and he is on probation called the probation office they are completely lost.
A: I suggest you contact the court clerk - if he is serving a sentence for a criminal offense, there is paperwork at the courthouse that says what he was convicted of, and what his sentence is, and whether it is to be served in the local jail or the Tennessee Department of Corrections. If he have been arrested and is awaiting trial, the paperwork will say how much is required for a bond for his release.
