Best Answer

A detainer is a request from another jurisdiction asking that they notify that jurisdiction that the person is about to be released. Detainer's are often the result of a warrant that has been issued for that inmate. If the warrant is relatively minor, then the detainer may not actually be issued. And not all detainers are the result of warrants: there could be Immigration detainers or detainers from probation and parole, asking the prison to let them know when the person will be released because that inmate is supposed to report to probation once he has been released.

How do you remove a hold on an inmate being held in jail because of a bench warrant in another county?

A Bench Warrant is issued by a judge and unless the warrant is 'quashed' or withdrawn by that judge, the hold will stay in effect. However, if there is some untimely delay in picking the inmate up and returning him to the where he is 'wanted' he could file a Writ of Habeus Corpus, the outcome which will have the effect of either releasing him or expediting his return.


If an inmate is getting released from prison will they be re-booked if they have a warrant in a different county?

The usual drill is that if an individual is serving time in a given facility and a warrant is know to exist on this individual from somewhere else, the court that issued the warrant will be contacted by the agency holding the individual. That jurisdiction will be asked if they want to pick the individual up when he is released from the facility where he is currently serving time. The institution where he is currently housed will not, in general, have any authority to hold the individual beyond his release date. The jurisdiction of the area from where the warrant originated will decide if they want to send someone over to collect the person or will permit him to surrender himself (which is usually not done). If it's anything of a "serious" nature, an officer or two will meet the person at the exit sallyport of the facility from where he is being released, and they'll have a copy of the warrant. It will amount to a change of custody, and the inmate will be taken into custody as he is released. The individual will then be returned to the jurisdiction of the court that issued the warrant. He will be held pending the retention of council prior to a bail hearing, and the process of adjudication of that warrant will proceed. Best of luck sorting all that out.
