Most of the time.
Well, if you are already in jail, you are already under arrest and it won't matter.
a person can, whether they should or if its legal is another matter.
No, the warrant has to be satisfied. YOU HAVE TO GO TO JAIL.
The jail should book you on the warrant and complete the return of service to clear the warrant. You will have to answer the new warrant before release.
Depends on what the warrant is for
Whether the person named in an arrest warrant is in jail or not is irrelevant. A warrant can be issued whenever the issuing court sees fit to sign it.
Jail time is not always mandatory for contempt of court. If a person has to go to jail will depend upon what the judge says about their contempt of court.
Yes. A "white warrant" means a warrant issued for a parole/probation revocation.
A sheriff's return on a bench warrant means that a return notice has been filed stating that a warrant was served. It also means that if the person is in jail at the time the warrant is served when they are released, they are to be transferred to the jail in the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued.
a warrant is a warrant.. you go to jail and you do not pass go...Added: Very serious. You are confined to house arrest in lieu of going to jail. Cutting off your GPS monitoring device is like breaking out of jail.
I presume you mean a bench warrant, not a beach warrant. You can remain in jail either until a new bail is set and is posted, or until the case is resolved.
If you missed a court date or didnt pay a fine while in jail and a warrant was issued, all you would need to do is appear before the issuing judge and give him proof that you were in jail during the time the warrant was issued.
