County jails.

Summary

The bill amends Penal Code §4007 to allow a judge to send prisoners to a neighboring county jail when the local jail is unavailable or unsafe, and to authorize sheriffs to transfer inmates to state prisons for security or medical reasons. It also permits inmates already in state prison to request that any new pre‑trial confinement be served in a state facility instead of a county jail, unless they qualify for release. Counties would be charged for the cost of the inmates’ confinement and medical treatment.
