2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the LASD [Sheriffs Department] conducts a check of ... a computerized law enforcement database[ ] to confirm that the prisoner is- not wanted by any other law enforcement agency. It is the LASD’s policy, however, to run the ... check only after all wants and holds that arrive on the day a prisoner is scheduled for release are-inputted into the database. Due to the high volume of wants and holds received each day, the inputting process can, and often does, take between one to two days to complete. It is only after the inputting process is complete and the computer check run, that the LASD begins the administrative steps toward a prisoner’s release. Although no longer required to serve time, ■these prisoners must remain in jail during the inputting period, extending their incarceration beyond their release date.”
