An officer forfeits $200 to a prisoner if the officer refuses or neglects, within the time period provided in subsection 1 or 2, to deliver a true and attested copy of the warrant or process by which the officer detains a prisoner to any person who demands it and tenders the fee for the copy.

1. 1. Sentenced prisoners In the case of sentenced prisoners, the copy of the warrant or process must be delivered within 3 business days of the demand. As used in this subsection, "business day" has the same meaning as found in Title 21‑A, section 1, subsection 4.

2. 2. Other prisoners In the case of any prisoner other than a sentenced prisoner, the copy of the warrant or process, which need not be a true and attested copy, must be delivered within 4 hours of the demand.
