(a) Incarcerated or supervised persons requiring extradition transport from any state or territory of the United States are personally responsible for the disposition of their personal property. Incarcerated persons shall arrange with the holding agency for the disposal or storage or mailing of personal property prior to being transported by California state agents. State agents shall not be responsible for personal property remaining at the sending agency/institution. At no time shall incarcerated person personal property be checked onto airplanes or transported in the aircraft's baggage compartment. The only exception shall be wheelchairs or other health care appliances.

(b) Incarcerated persons extradited to the custody of the department shall not retain any property on their person except prescribed eyeglasses or health care appliances. Only authorized property that can fit into a 10? x 12? clasp envelope, including, but not limited to prescription medication, jewelry, wallet, watch, family pictures, or printed material, shall be allowed to be transported. The incarcerated person's property shall be inventoried, recorded, and secured in the agent's carry-on baggage or secured compartment in a transportation vehicle. The incarcerated person may wear their own clothing and shoes if deemed appropriate for transport purposes by the assigned state agents.

(c) Incarcerated persons extradited or transferred from the department to other jurisdictions, states or territories of the United States may be allowed to retain all or a portion of their property as determined by the transporting extradition agent. In cases where the transportation of personal property is not permitted, incarcerated persons shall dispose of the property pursuant to subsection 3191(c)(3) through (5) or be provided the opportunity to select from the following options for the disposition of property:

(1) Incarcerated persons permanently transferring to the custody of another agency shall be provided the opportunity to send all property to an address of their choosing via USPS or common carrier at the incarcerated person's expense.

(2) Indigent incarcerated persons permanently transferring to the custody of another agency may send their personal property to an individual willing to accept the personal property at the expense of the department.

(3) Incarcerated persons temporarily transferring out-to-court or other temporary transfers out-of-state shall have property stored at the institution/facility pending their return to custody, parole or discharge.
