The courts, departments, agencies and officers of this State

which may be within their respective jurisdictions including but not

Any inmate sentenced under California law who is imprisoned
in another state, pursuant to a compact, shall be entitled to all
hearings, within 120 days of the time and under the same standards,
which are normally accorded to persons similarly sentenced who are
confined in institutions in this state. If the inmate consents in
writing, such hearings may be conducted by the corresponding agencies
or officials of such other jurisdiction. The Board of Prison Terms
or its duly authorized representative is hereby authorized and
directed to hold such hearings as may be requested by such other
jurisdiction or the inmate pursuant to this section or to Article IV
(f) of the Interstate Corrections Compact or of the Western
Interstate Corrections Compact.
The Director of Corrections is hereby empowered to enter
into such contracts on behalf of this state as may be appropriate to
implement the participation of this state in the Interstate
Corrections Compact and the Western Interstate Corrections Compact
pursuant to Article III thereof. No such contract shall be of any
force or effect until approved by the Director of General Services.
Such contracts may authorize confinement of inmates in, or transfer
of inmates from, only such institutions in this state as are under
the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections, and no such
contract may provide for transfer out of this state of any person
committed to the custody of the Director of the Youth Authority. No
such contract may authorize the confinement of an inmate, who is in
the custody of the Director of Corrections, in an institution of a
state other than a state that is a party to the Interstate
Corrections Compact or to the Western Interstate Corrections Compact.
The Director of Corrections, subject to the approval of the Board of
Prison Terms, must first determine, on the basis of an inspection
made by his direction, that such institution of another state is a
suitable place for confinement of prisoners committed to his custody
before entering into a contract permitting such confinement, and
shall, at least annually, redetermine the suitability of such
confinement. In determining the suitability of such institution of
another state, the director shall assure himself that such
institution maintains standards of care and discipline not
incompatible with those of the State of California and that all
inmates therein are treated equitably, regardless of race, religion,
color, creed or national origin.
(a) At the request of the board of supervisors of any
county that is adjacent to another state, the county sheriff shall
negotiate with the appropriate officials of the adjacent state to
contract pursuant to the authority of Article III of a compact
executed under Section 11189 or 11190 for the confinement of county
jail prisoners in corresponding facilities located in the adjacent
state. The sheriff shall determine that the corresponding facilities
are a suitable place of confinement of prisoners submitted to his or
her custody and shall at least annually redetermine the suitability
as a precondition to any contract under this section. In determining
the suitability of the facilities of the other states, the sheriff
shall assure himself or herself that it maintains standards of care
and discipline not incompatible with those of this state and that all
inmates therein are treated equally, regardless of race, religion,
color, creed, or national origin.
(b) With the approval of the board of supervisors including agreement as to terms for payments to be made for prisoner maintenance and expenses, the county sheriff may enter into a contract negotiated under subdivision (a).
(c) No prisoner may be transferred to an institution outside of this state under this section unless he or she has executed a written consent to the transfer.
(d) Any person who was sent to another state from a county under the authority of this section shall be released within the territory of the county unless the person, the sheriff of the sending county, and the corresponding official or agency of the other state shall agree upon release in another place. The county shall bear the cost of transporting the person to the place of release.
(b) With the approval of the board of supervisors including agreement as to terms for payments to be made for prisoner maintenance and expenses, the county sheriff may enter into a contract negotiated under subdivision (a).
(c) No prisoner may be transferred to an institution outside of this state under this section unless he or she has executed a written consent to the transfer.
(d) Any person who was sent to another state from a county under the authority of this section shall be released within the territory of the county unless the person, the sheriff of the sending county, and the corresponding official or agency of the other state shall agree upon release in another place. The county shall bear the cost of transporting the person to the place of release.
Every prisoner released from a prison without this state to
which he has been committed or transferred from this state pursuant
to this article shall be entitled to the same benefits, including,
but not limited to money and tools, as are allowed to a prisoner
released from a prison in this state. Any person who has been sent to
another state for confinement pursuant to this article shall be
released within the territory of this state unless the person, the
Director of Corrections of California, and the corresponding agency
or official of the other state shall agree upon release in some other
place. This state shall bear the cost of transporting the person to
the place of release.
The provisions of this article shall be severable and if any
phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this article is declared
to be unconstitutional or the applicability thereof to any state,
agency, person or circumstance is held invalid, the constitutionality
of this article and the applicability thereof to any other state,
agency, person or circumstance shall, with respect to all severable
matters, not be affected thereby. It is the legislative intent that
the provisions of this article be reasonably and liberally construed.
No person sentenced under California law who is committed or
transferred to an institution outside of this state shall be
competent to testify for the prosecution in any criminal proceeding
in this state unless counsel for each defendant in such proceeding is
notified that the prosecution may call the person as a witness and
is given an opportunity to interview the person no less than 10 days
before the commencement of the proceeding or, in the event the
prosecution is not at that time considering the possibility of using
such testimony, the notice and opportunity for interview shall be
given at the earliest possible time. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to compel the prisoner to submit to such an interview.
(a) Except as authorized by California statute, no city,
county, city and county, or private entity shall cause to be brought
into, housed in, confined in, or detained in this state any person
sentenced to serve a criminal commitment under the authority of any
jurisdiction outside of California.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that this act shall neither prohibit nor authorize the confinement of federal prisoners in this state.
