AI Explanation
Inmate ID as acceptable identification. Civil Code section 1185(b)(3) lists acceptable Group 1 identification documents, which include an inmate identification card issued by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, provided the inmate is in custody in a California state prison. An inmate ID issued by a sheriff's department for a locally detained inmate is also acceptable. Group 1 IDs do not need to meet the PIPS criteria.
