Rules & Regulations of the State of Tennessee
Title 1100 - Board of Paroles
Chapter 1100-01-01 - Conduct of Parole Proceedings
Section 1100-01-01-.11 - DETAINERS

Current through September 24, 2024

(1) A Detainer is a warrant or hold placed against an inmate by another jurisdiction (called the "detaining authority") notifying the holding facility of the intention to take custody of the individual when he or she is released.

(2) The presence of a detainer shall not, in and of itself, constitute a valid reason for the denial of parole.

(3) Parole to Detainers.

(a) As used in this rule, unless the context otherwise requires, 'parole to a detainer' means the release of the inmate to the physical custody of the authority who has lodged the detainer.

(b) Where the detainer is not lifted, the Board may grant parole to such detainer within their discretion.

(c) The Board will cooperate in establishing and maintaining arrangements for concurrent supervision with other jurisdictions, where such arrangements are feasible and where release on parole appears, to the Board, to be justified.

(d) If the Board has granted parole to "detainer only" and the jurisdiction placing the detainer lifts it or fails to take custody of the inmate, a rescission hearing will be scheduled.

Authority: T.C.A. §§ 40-28-104 and 40-28-401.
