Section 30-B:22 - Removal of Prisoners for Public Safety or Emergency Reasons or Because of Epidemic or Repairs to FacilityI. Whenever the prevalence of disease, or the rebuilding or repairing of a correctional facility or for other cause, the superintendent of the county department of corrections shall think it expedient that the prisoners be removed therefrom, the county commissioners may authorize the superintendent to remove the prisoners to some other facility in the same or another county location, there to be detained, in the same manner and by the same process as in the correctional facility from which they were so removed, until removed by similar process or discharged according to law.II. The superintendent may remove a prisoner, without the approval of the county commissioners, if the superintendent determines the removal is necessary for public safety or emergency reasons. The county commissioners shall review any such removal at their next regular meeting. If the county commissioners reject the removal, the prisoner shall be returned to the facility from which the prisoner came as soon as practicable.Amended by 2011, 65:2, eff. 7/15/2011.1988, 89:1, eff.
