Court Removal Orders and Subpoenas for an Inmate to Appear in Court

In the event that the extraction is based upon a court removal order or subpoena, the Branch Supervisor shall contact the judge of the concerned court. The judge shall be advised that force may be necessary to extract the inmate from a cell to ensure court appearance.

The judge will be offered an opportunity to enforce, rescind, or delay the removal order. If the judge demands the inmate to appear in court, the inmate shall be extracted based on the verbal order of the court.

Authorization for the removal from the judge may be relayed and accepted via the court clerk or bailiff. Following the verbal order, the judge will provide a minute order requiring the inmate’s appearance in court to the branch supervisor of the concerned facility. A record of all contacts between CSD personnel and court personnel, and a copy of the minute order shall be included in the required Use of Force Report package.
