-
When a holding jurisdiction also has charges against the person, they must notify other jurisdictions (in order of nearest distance within 30 miles) of the person's impending release so those jurisdictions can retrieve them
-

-
Convicted persons may be charged $1 per mile and $25 per hour for transportation costs, taxed as court costs and remitted to the transporting jurisdiction
