Dismissal.
1. Any person who is imprisoned in a penal or correctional institution of this state may
request final disposition of any untried indictment, information, or complaint pending
against that person in this state. The request must be in writing addressed to the court
in which the indictment, information, or complaint is pending and to the prosecuting
official charged with the duty of prosecuting it and must set forth the place of
imprisonment.
2. The warden or other official having custody of prisoners shall promptly inform each
prisoner in writing of the source and nature of any untried indictment, information, or
complaint against a prisoner of which the warden or other official had knowledge or
notice and of the prisoner's right to make a request for final disposition thereof.
3. Failure of the warden or other official to inform a prisoner, as required by this section,
within one year after a detainer has been filed at the institution, entitles the prisoner to
a final dismissal of the indictment, information, or complaint with prejudice.
