I actually think he was sentenced to death. But Atticus wanted to appeal it to the supreme court justice. Unfortunately Tom tried to run away from the situation and died doing so.
The real question though is was Tom actually trying to run away from the prison or did the prison guards kill him on purpose... 17 bullets... i hv no clue

Why does Atticus sit outside Tom Robinson's jail cell?
Atticus went to go stay outside the jail that night because he was Tom Robinson's lawyer. Tom Robinson was staying in the jail the night before the trial, and Atticus wanted to make sure he was safe. Scout and Jem notice there father has suspiciously left the house that night so they follow him to the jail. A mob of white, unfamiliar men come to the jail and tell Atticus to move away from the jail house door. He refuses. (These men were most likely a lynch mob, Klu Kux Klan) Right then Scout jumos out and tell the men to leave her father alone. She notices Walter Cunningham in the crowd, and she go's up to him and tells Mr. Cunningham to tell his song that she said hi.

Why did Atticus go to the jail late at night?
I'm assuming this is about To Kill A Mockingbird. I just finished this in class. In those days, it was common for mobs to go and lynch (or kill) a black man before his trial. It was easier in their eyes, and the local government just turned a blind eye. Atticus went there to protect Tom Robinson from the mob that inevitably came.
