Louisiana HB957 removes the 72-hour notification requirement for transferring prisoners to another parish jail.
Louisiana HB957 amends existing law regarding the transfer of prisoners to the jail of another parish. Currently, the sheriff proposing the transfer must notify the court that set bail for the prisoner at least 72 hours before the transfer if the prisoner is not under sentence to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. HB957 removes this notification requirement, changing the process for transferring prisoners between parish jails.
