§ 121400 Intercounty Prisoner Release Transfer

• •If someone is locked up in a different county than where they were convicted, they must be taken back to the county where they were convicted when released.
• •The sheriff in charge of the county where they were convicted must be told when the person is being sent back.
• •The sheriff doesn’t need a judge’s order to bring the person back—they just have to do it.
• •The health officer in the area where the person is going must be told when they will arrive.

A person is convicted of a crime in Los Angeles but is sent to a jail in San Diego. When they finish their time, they are released.

The jail in San Diego must send them back to Los Angeles, where they were convicted. The Los Angeles sheriff has to pick them up and take them back without needing a judge’s permission. The sheriff also has to tell the Los Angeles health officer when the person will arrive.
