This law section outlines the responsibilities of court clerks and sheriffs when sentencing individuals to the state prison, including issuing warrants and transferring convicts. It also details the record-keeping duties of clerks, such as forwarding case information to prison officials and the governor. These provisions ensure proper execution of sentences and accurate record maintenance.
The court clerk issues a warrant to transfer the convict to the state prison and forwards a detailed record of the case to prison officials and the governor.
The record includes the case details, sentence, judge, prosecutor, sheriff, jurors, witnesses, and relevant facts or statutes.
A copy of the record must be forwarded to the governor within 10 days of the prisoner’s transfer to the institution.
The warrant authorizes the sheriff to move the convict from jail to the state prison without unnecessary delay.
