Q: My fiancé has spent At minimum 120 days past her true sentence.. and is still incarcerated as I speak in TDOC
originally received a four year suspended sentence.served three terms 9 m 9 m12 m Towards the suspended sentence. Also during this time Was placed on Community Corrections and ended up with 492 days (16 months) CC day 4 day credits (of which I only was made aware of the exact amount after receiving DPOA 2 months after court or 2 days ago and got docs)in September 2024 my local circuit courtended up revoking her sentence to serve which was expected. We knew of 30 months of time served + undetermined amount of CC day for day credits+ 6/22/24-9/24/25 pre trial detention + 9/25/24-today 11/23/24. During court DA and lawyer said TDOC would figure out time. The revocation order stated 30 months time served plus language giving credit for CC credits without a calculated total.TDOC time/sentence management ONLY use revocation orders to determine time. The lawyer I hired won't return my calls. Made court TDOC DA aware of issue and nothing. Other than starting grievance process with TDOC next?

Do you have the sentencing orders. A Writ of Habeas Corpus is the appropriate method for her release.
