Best Answer

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.

Is a warrant issued to an inmate currently in prison the same as a detainer?

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.
