WARRANTS/OTHER COURT ORDERS/DETAINERS
1. The following shall apply to City Inmates who are subject to warrants from other
jurisdictions or to other court orders for confinement or detainers. When receiving a City
Inmate, the Transport Officers shall review all paperwork provided by the City for all
grounds to hold the Inmate and ensure that this information is entered into the County's
JMS and is routed to the Out of County Transport Section Office Specialist.
2. Prior to releasing a City Inmate, the County shall check the NCIC and WACIC systems to
determine if the Inmate is subject to any valid warrants or other detainers.
a) If the Inmate is subject to a warrant that is limited to King County, YCDOC will,
upon receiving written permission (e mail) from the City, transport the Inmate to
the custodial agency for the jurisdiction that issued the warrant. However, Yakima
County will not assume responsibility to serve any such warrants.
b) If the City Inmate is subject to a warrant from a western Washington jurisdiction
outside King County, YCDOC will release the Inmate at the location determined by
written (e mail) agreement of the YCDOC and the City under Section 5 of this
Agreement.
c) If the City Inmate is subject to a warrant from an eastern Washington jurisdiction,
YCDOC will send the Inmate to the custodial agency for that jurisdiction on the
Mini -Chain.
d) If, upon return from YCDOC to the City, the Inmate is subject to a warrant that
provides for statewide extradition, YCDOC will either transport the Inmate to the
detention/correction facility in King County designated by the agency/jurisdiction
that issued the warrant if it is in King County, or will send the Inmate to the
agency/jurisdiction that issued the warrant on the Mini -Chain.
3. City Inmates who have or are subject to Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE)
detainers shall be returned to the City, unless the County and City agree in writing
(email) to some other course of action.
