Official statutory text
Any inmate sentenced under California law who is imprisoned in another state, pursuant to a compact, shall be entitled to all hearings, within 120 days of the time and under the same standards, which are normally accorded to persons similarly sentenced who are confined in institutions in this state. If the inmate consents in writing, such hearings may be conducted by the corresponding agencies or officials of such other jurisdiction. The Board of Prison Terms or its duly authorized representative is hereby authorized and directed to hold such hearings as may be requested by such other jurisdiction or the inmate pursuant to this section or to Article IV (f) of the Interstate Corrections Compact or of the Western Interstate Corrections Compact.
