The Tennessee Detained Summons is a document issued by the Tennessee Department of Corrections (DOC) that orders a person to appear in court. It is used when an individual has been accused of committing a crime and is in the custody of law enforcement. It can also be used when a person is being held in a correctional facility or on parole. There are two types of Tennessee Detained Summons: the General Detained Summons and the Special Detained Summons. The General Detained Summons is issued when a person is held in custody and is charged with a crime. The Special Detained Summons is issued when a person is on parole or in a correctional facility and is alleged to have committed a violation of their parole or other rules of the facility. Both types of Tennessee Detained Summons requires the person to appear in court on a certain date to answer to the charges.
