What I learned today.

Today I learned how to subpoena a witness who is in the custody of the CDCR. 

First, obtain his location from the inmate locator number (916) 445-6713 or by fax at (916) 322-0500.  You will need his/her full name and date of birth or CDC number. 

Then contact the insitution where s/he is incarcerated. Confirm that you will need to send a copy of the subpoena and proof of service along with SASE and a cover letter.  They will serve for you and return the POS.

Also, you will need to obtain a Removal Order from the Court.  This may well be the subject of a post in the near future.
