Tennessee Judicial Diversion Instructions are a form of alternative sentencing available to eligible participants who commit certain non-violent criminal offenses in the state of Tennessee. The program allows participants to avoid criminal convictions and jail time if they complete a period of probation and the terms of their diversion agreement. Participants can be eligible for diversion if their charges are misdemeanors, Class E felonies, or certain Class C felonies. The types of Tennessee Judicial Diversion Instructions include drug diversion, DWI diversion, domestic violence diversion, and other diversion programs. These programs may include court-ordered counseling, community service, and drug or alcohol testing, among other requirements. Upon successful completion of the program, the charges against the individual are dismissed and their record is sealed, restoring their previous legal status.
