What is detainer when person is in prison?
If a prisoner is being prosecuted for another crime and the charge is still pending then the prosecutor can file a detainer with the location where the prisoner is confined. This ensures the prisoner will not be released back to the street without first answering for the other crime. The prosecutor can writ the prisoner to their location prior to their release from prison to try to dispose of the case or the prisoner can be taken into custody when released on parole.

Does a person being arrested on a warrant from another county within the same statehave to be booked into the arresting counties jail prior to being extradited?
Not necessarily. If the county holding the warrant could respond quickly, the jail having the prisoner in custody might just keep them in a waiting area until the officers from the other county arrived. When the prisoner was taken back to the county with the warrant, this would not be a "extradition." Extradition occurs only between states.
What does the writ of habeas corpus mean?
Habeas corpus is a Latin term meaning "Have the body". It is a writ (court order) which directs the law enforcement officials who have custody of a prisoner to appear in court with the prisoner in order to determine the legality of the prisoner's confinement. A court order requiring that a confined person be brought to court so that his or her claims can be heard Habeas Corpus is an ancient common law prerogative writ - a legal procedure to which you have an undeniable right. It is an extraordinary remedy at law. Upon proper application, or even on naked knowledge alone, a court is empowered, and is duty bound, to issue the Extraordinary Writ of Habeas Corpus commanding one who is restraining liberty to forthwith produce before the court the person who is in custody and to show cause why the liberty of that person is being restrained. Absent a sufficient showing for a proper restraint of liberty, the court is duty bound to order the restraint eliminated and the person discharged. Habeas Corpus is fundamental to American and all other English common law derivative systems of jurisprudence. It is the ultimate lawful and peaceable remedy for adjudicating the providence of liberty's restraint. Since the history of Habeas Corpus is predominately English we must visit that history to gain understanding of American use of Habeas Corpus. It is the right to a trial in 20 days that is.
