What it does
Existing law authorizes the warden of a state prison to whom an incarcerated person is delivered for execution to suspend the execution of a judgment of death in specified circumstances. Under existing law, if the court sets a date for execution, the warden is required to report that to the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, who is required to appoint 3 "alienists" (psychiatrists) from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation staff, at least 20 days prior to the date appointed for execution, to examine the defendant and investigate the defendant's sanity.
