§ 459 Defendant held when offense not bailable.

If someone is arrested for a crime that doesn't allow bail, they stay in custody. The sheriff in the county where the case is filed is responsible for holding them. This applies once the formal charges (called an indictment or information) have been filed in that county.

Some counties don't run their own jails and instead pay another company or facility to hold prisoners. If that's the case, the rule says that facility must hold the person too. In other words, the job of keeping the person in custody doesn't disappear just because the sheriff uses an outside contractor. Whoever is holding the prisoner, whether it's the sheriff directly or a contracted facility, has to keep that person locked up until the case moves forward.
