     § 1108.  District attorneys' standing and interest in prisoner
                litigation.
        The district attorney shall receive written notice of, and
     shall have automatic standing and a legal interest in, any
     proceeding which may involve the release or nonadmission of
     county prisoners, delinquents or detainees due to the fact,
     duration or other conditions of custody. In addition to the
     district attorney's rights in such a proceeding, the district
     attorney may seek any equitable relief necessary to protect the
     district attorney's interest in the continued institutional
     custody and admission of county prisoners, delinquents or
     detainees.
