In Archer v. State, 851 S.W.2d 157, 161 (Tenn. 1993) the Court held as follows: When the restraint, from which relief is sought by a writ of habeas corpus, proceeds from a judgment erroneous but not void, the writ will not lie. Nor, under it, can the party impeach a judgment as contrary to the facts. And, in general, this is not the remedy where the imprisonment is on judicial process. But where the sentence is void, not merely voidable, or the term of imprisonment under it has expired, relief may be had by the writ. . . . Judicial officers . . . sometimes use the writ as if it were a writ of error, under which they might correct the errors and irregularities of other tribunals. "Any such employment of the writ is an abuse."
