Title

Criminal procedure; warrants served on inmates in Department of Corrections

Description

Under existing law, an arrest warrant may be served by any law enforcement officer within this state.

This bill would require that an inmate located within the Department of Corrections be served any arrest warrant at the time the inmate is processed in the department and within seven days of the department receiving an arrest warrant.

This bill would require the department to periodically search the National Crime Information Center to determine if there are any warrants for any inmates in the department's custody and to serve said warrants.

This bill would also require hearings necessary from the service of an arrest warrant to occur virtually from the prison.
