§ 85.10 Commitment; notifications; warrants.
1. Commitment. Commitment under a sentence of intermittent
imprisonment and execution of the judgment shall be in accordance
with the procedure applicable to a definite sentence of
imprisonment, except that: (a) detention of the defendant under
the judgment shall be executed during the times specified in the
sentence; and (b) the court may provide that the defendant is to
report to a specified institution on a specified date at a
specified time to commence service of the sentence and in such
case the defendant need not be taken into or retained in custody
when sentence is imposed.
2. Notifications. A written copy of the sentence imposed by
the court signed by the judge who imposed the sentence shall be
delivered to the defendant and shall be annexed to the commitment
and to each copy of the commitment required to be delivered or
filed. When the defendant is not taken into or retained in
custody at the time sentence is imposed, the commitment and copy
of the sentence shall forthwith be delivered to the person whose
duty it is to execute the judgment. If at any time the defendant
fails to report for confinement as provided in the sentence the
officer in charge of the institution or department to which such
commitment is made or someone designated by such officer shall
forthwith notify the court in writing of such failure to report.
3. Warrants. Upon receipt of any such notification the
court may issue a warrant to an appropriate police officer or
peace officer directing him to take the defendant into custody
and bring him before the court. The court may then commit such
person to custody or fix bail or release him on his own
recognizance for future appearance before the court.
