Criminal procedure; warrants served on inmates in Department of Corrections

SB 89 requires the Department of Corrections (DOC) to check for outstanding arrest warrants for inmates at several key points, including during intake, prior to work release or parole supervision, and 90 days before release. If a warrant is found, the DOC must serve it, notify the issuing authority, and facilitate virtual court hearings for the inmate when technically possible. The bill also mandates that the Board of Pardons and Paroles check for outstanding warrants when an inmate is considered for parole, providing notification to relevant authorities if a warrant exists. This aims to ensure that inmates with outstanding warrants are identified and processed while still in custody.
