Section 11177 Of Article 3. Uniform Act For Out-of-state Parolee Supervision From California Penal Code >> Title 1. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 3.
11177
. The compact or compacts authorized by Section 11176 shall be
in substantially the following form:
A compact entered into by and among the contracting states,
signatories hereto, with the consent of the Congress of the United
States of America, granted by an act entitled "An act granting the
consent of Congress to any two or more states to enter into
agreements or compacts for cooperative effort and mutual assistance
in the prevention of crime and for other purposes."
The contracting states solemnly agree:
(1) That it shall be competent for the duly constituted judicial
and administrative authorities of a state party to this compact
(herein called "sending state"), to permit any person convicted of an
offense within such state and placed on probation or released on
parole to reside in any other state party to this compact (herein
called "receiving state") while on probation or parole, if
(a) Such person is in fact a resident of or has his family
residing within the receiving state and can obtain employment there;
(b) Though not a resident of the receiving state and not having
his family residing there, the receiving state consents to such
person being sent there.
Before granting such permission, opportunity shall be granted to
the receiving state to investigate the home and prospective
employment of such person.
A resident of the receiving state, within the meaning of this
section, is one who has been an actual inhabitant of such state
continuously for more than one year prior to his coming to the
sending state and has not resided within the sending state more than
six continuous months immediately preceding the commission of the
offense for which he has been convicted.
(2) That each receiving state will assume the duties of visitation
of and supervision over probationers or parolees of any sending
state and in the exercise of those duties will be governed by the
same standards that prevail for its own probationers and parolees.
(3) That duly accredited officers of a sending state may at all
times enter a receiving state and there apprehend and retake any
person on probation or parole. For that purpose no formalities will
be required other than establishing the authority of the officer and
the identity of the person to be retaken. All legal requirements to
obtain extradition of fugitives from justice are hereby expressly
waived on the part of states party hereto, as to such persons. The
decision of the sending state to retake a person on probation or
parole shall be conclusive upon and not reviewable within the
receiving state. If at the time when a state seeks to retake a
probationer or parolee there should be pending against him within the
receiving state any criminal charge, or he should be suspected of
having committed within such state a criminal offense, he shall not
be retaken without the consent of the receiving state until
discharged from prosecution or from imprisonment for such offense.
(4) That the duly accredited officers of the sending state will be
permitted to transport prisoners being retaken through any and all
states parties to this compact, without interference.
(5) That the governor of each state may designate an officer who,
acting jointly with like officers of other contracting states, if and
when appointed, shall promulgate such rules and regulations as may
be deemed necessary to more effectively carry out the terms of this
compact.
(6) That this compact shall become operative immediately upon its
ratification by any state as between it and any other state or states
so ratifying. When ratified it shall have the full force and effect
of law within such state, the form of ratification to be in
accordance with the laws of the ratifying state.
(7) That this compact shall continue in force and remain binding
upon each ratifying state until renounced by it. The duties and
obligations hereunder of a renouncing state shall continue as to
parolees or probationers residing therein at the time of withdrawal
until retaken or finally discharged by the sending state.
Renunciation of this compact shall be by the same authority which
ratified it, by sending six months' notice in writing of its
intention to withdraw from the compact to the other states party
hereto.
