Abstract

The United States Supreme Court has held that the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment does not require a sheriff's department to establish identification procedures to ascertain the validity of a prisoner's protests of mistaken identity so long as the prisoner's arrest was made pursuant to a validly issued warrant.
