 DETERMINATE RELEASE

DETERMINATE RELEASE=A release to probation granted by statute T.C.A. 40-35-50  that applies to all felons sentenced to two (2) years and under. The determination of eligibility for such probation is based solely upon the length of sentence as imposed by the sentencing court.

The judge has sentenced offender to serve two (2) years or less to the Tennessee Department of Corrections (TDOC) with a percent range. When the offenders meet that range or Release Eligibility Date (RED) TDOC certifies the offenders eligible to go out on Determinate Release Probation. At this time the Board of Probation and Parole sets release dates and sends out notification. Approximately 15 working days later the offenders are released to probation.
