Detainer(J-70), if applicable.
VI I. OUT-OF-STATE HOLDS/WARRANTS (PC 1551)
California subscribes to the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act which regulates
interstate extradition. Extradition is the process of transporting an inmate back
to the state (i.e., the"home" or"demanding"state)where charges are pending
Penal Code Sections 1548-1558 govern the procedures and protocols that are
involved with extradition from California.
A. Out-of-state holds are non-billable and have no corresponding Prisoner
Hold Order billing form. Booking I will be responsible to list the Prisoner
Type as "OUT OF STATE WART."
B. Out-of-state holds will be booked as follows:
OUT-OF-STATE HOLD
(Holds Screen)
HOLD FOR AGENCY Applicable agency
HOLD TYPE OUT OF STATE WART
NOTES State,county,charge,and contact telephone number

everything in an envelope and forward to the Transportation Unit.
D. If the inmate has an out-of-county charge as well, the out-of-county
charge will take precedence. Forward copies of both the out-of-state and
out-of-county warrants to Transportation.
E. Upon receipt of a remanding order noting PC1551 for persons held on an
Page 7 of 15
FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
JAIL DIVISION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
TITLE: HOLDS AND DETAINERS NO: C-180
FILE: HOLDS
out-of-state warrant, the Records Officer will initiate a Charges screen
containing the information from the remanding order.
1. Once the PC1551 charge is added to the inmate's charges, the
inmate may be allowed to post bail (if so allowed by the remand order)
- even though the inmate will still have the out-of-state detainer
charge. If the defendant is able and chooses to post bail, the
Transportation Detective assigned to extradition duties shall be
contacted (at any time, 24-hours a day) prior to the disposition of the
Charges screen.
2. If the defendant is unable or chooses not to post bail, the extradition
process shall continue.
F. If there is any question regarding the disposition/release of an out-of-state
inmate, contact the Transportation Detective prior to releasing the inmate.
Vill. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT(ICE/INS) DETAINERS and
HOLDS
A. The vast majority of ICE "holds" are immigration detainers and have an
accompanying Immigration Detainer— Request for Voluntary Action (I-
247D) form. The Immigration Detainer shall be accepted and added,
however, the detainer will not serve as a hold, or delay an inmate's
release beyond the scheduled date of release. There is no
accompanying USM-41 form.
1. Inmates with Immigration Detainers are not considered to be "federal
inmates" and it is not necessary to notify or obtain authorization from
the United States Marshals Service at any time.
2. The PRISONER TYPE shall be set as "County", "State" or "Out of
County Wart", as applicable, based upon the inmate's other charges.
The PRISONER TYPE should not be set to "Federal" unless the
inmate is in custody on other federal charges.

TITLE: HOLDS AND DETAINERS NO: C-180
FILE: HOLDS
indicating the charge, case number, and scheduled release date. ICE
can be contacted via FAX at (559) 266-2769.
D. When the inmate's local charges are dispositioned and the only remaining
charge is the detainer, the Records Officer processing the release shall
complete and FAX an ICE Detainers Communications Form indicating
that the inmate is being released. Because the inmate's release will not
be delayed, ICE must pick up the inmate prior to the completion of the
release process.
E. If ICE does not pick up the inmate, the RELEASE TYPE on the Release
screen will be the underlying reason for the release (e.g., Time Served).
The Holds screen will be dispositioned utilizing the applicable REMOVE
REASON:
1. CANCELLED BY REQUESTING AGENCY (i.e., ICE submits a signed
1-247 form that releases the detainer).
2. HOLD DROP FSO AB4 (i.e., the inmate's local charges have been
dispositioned and an 1-247 form releasing the detainer has not been
received from ICE).
F. If ICE brings an inmate into custody on a federal charge (e.g., illegal re-
entry/18 USC 1326), the charge will have an accompanying United States
Marshal USM-41 form. The charge shall be booked as a Federal Marshal
Hold (refer to Section X) and all USMS notifications shall apply. The
inmate shall be considered a federal inmate.
G. If ICE brings in a detainer to add a federal charge (and the inmate is
already in custody on local charges), the procedures under Section XI
shall apply.
IX. U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION HOLDS (CBP)
A. Persons brought into custody on a United States Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) hold will have an accompanying Order to Detain or
Release Alien (1-203) form. The hold is used to detain individuals who
are awaiting CBP determination of admissibility and/or further
administrative immigration action, and is limited to seventy-two (72)
hours.
1. Such persons shall be booked on a CBP Hold.
2. The PRISONER TYPE shall be set as "Federal."

the USMS and it is not necessary to notify or obtain authorization from
the USM at any time. If necessary, any notifications shall be made
directly to CBP.
X. FEDERAL CHARGES — BOOKED AS HOLDS
A. Only federal law enforcement officers are authorized to book individuals
for violations of federal law (i.e., open charges of the United States
Code). Persons arrested on open federal charges must have an
accompanying USM-41 form. Such persons shall be considered and
booked as a Federal Marshal Hold.
1. Booking I will be responsible to list the PRISONER TYPE as
FEDERAL.
2. The hold shall be booked as follows:
FEDERAL HOLD
(Holds Screen)

TITLE: HOLDS AND DETAINERS NO: C-180
FILE: HOLDS
3. The U.S. Code section (if available) shall be listed in the NOTES
section of the Holds screen.
4. Multiple "open" charges shall be combined and treated as one count.
(If multiple federal agencies file separate charges, each agency will
have an individual Holds screen.)
5. Federal charges and holds are billable. The AGENCY = USMS and
the BILLING TYPE = HOUSING.
B. Any peace officer may arrest an individual pursuant to a federal arrest
warrant. A USM-41 form is not required (unless the arrest was
effectuated by a federal agency).
1. Persons arrested on federal warrants by federal agents may be
accompanied by an actual Arrest Warrant. However, most federal
warrant arrests will not have an associated warrant abstract, but
instead will have a confirmation notice containing the pertinent warrant
information. Except when involved in multi-agency task forces, local
law enforcement agencies will normally only have access to the
confirmation notice.
2. The Booking I Officer shall ensure that the warrant has been
confirmed. The charge shall be booked as a Federal Marshal Hold
and the form(s) scanned into the inmate's records (Laserfiche
DocType = Federal Hold).
3. The arresting federal agency may also submit one of the following
detainers, which shall be scanned into the inmate's records. The
information from the form should be noted in the NOTES section of
the Holds screen, but will not require a separate charge to be initiated:
a. Detainer — Based on Violation of Probation and/or Supervised
Release (USM-16D). Issued by USMS when the inmate violates
the conditions of probation and/or supervised release.
b. Detainer— Based on Federal Judgment and Commitment (US M-
16B). Issued by USMS when the inmate owes time to the Federal
Board of Prisons. (Such persons shall not be deported without
agreement from the USMS)

TITLE: HOLDS AND DETAINERS NO: C-180
FILE: HOLDS
c. Federal Detainer — Against Unsentenced Prisoner Based on
Federal Arrest Warrant. Utilized by all remaining federal agencies
(except USMS).
C. Federal inmates shall not be warrant checked at the time of their booking.
D. Because the inmate is to be booked on a federal hold, any local warrants
or out-of-county warrant abstracts presented at the time of booking by the
arresting/transporting officer shall be scanned into the inmate's records
without a corresponding charge being created.
1. Local warrants — notify Sheriff's Records that the inmate is in federal
custody and the warrant will not be served and needs to be
reactivated.
2. Out-of-county warrants — send a teletype and notify the issuing
agency that the inmate is in federal custody and the warrant will not
be served and needs to be reactivated.
3. A notation shall be placed in the NOTES section of the corresponding
Holds screen noting that a local and/or out-of-county warrant abstract
has been scanned into the inmate's record and requires checking
prior to release. (The warrant will need to be called for and served,
should the inmate be released from the federal hold.)
XI. LOCAL CHARGES WITH ADDITIONAL FEDERAL CHARGES (DETAINER)
A. If an inmate is originally booked into custody with local charges, but then
a federal agency wants to add charges, the following documents must be
submitted:
1. A Notice of Additional Charges (J-169) form
2. A USM-41 form
B. The federal charge shall be booked as a Federal Marshal Detainer
(regardless of the agency) and the code section (if available) shall be
listed in the NOTES section, along with a notation stating: "OK to attend
local court. Contact (agency) and USMS when local charges are
dispositioned." (If the charge is booked as a Federal Hold, the inmate will
not be able to attend any scheduled local court appearances while under
the federal jurisdiction without authorization from the USM.)

the list of federal inmates. After the local charges are dispositioned, the
inmate's PRISONER TYPE shall be changed to FEDERAL.
NOTE: It is important that the PRISONER TYPE field NOT be modified
before the local charges are dispositioned. The modification causes the
inmate to be flagged as a federal inmate — and as a federal inmate, the
inmate would not be permitted to attend local court proceedings without
first obtaining authorization from the USM.
1. Notify the originating federal agency that placed the detainer that the
local case has been adjudicated.

2. A Records Officer shall be responsible to notify medical staff and note
the name of the staff member who was informed in the RELEASE
NOTES section of the inmate's Release screen. (It is not necessary to

provide the inmate's medical summary to the transporting officer.)
The inmate shall be released from custody without delay.
3. Medical staff shall be responsible to notify and submit a written
