Court may grant writ releasing any prisoner within district. — One district court of this state may grant a writ of habeas corpus for the release from the state penitentiary of a prisoner held therein under a commitment from another district court. As the prisoner was being detained within the first judicial district, there can be no question that the court in that district had jurisdiction to consider intervenor's petition for habeas corpus. State ex rel. Hanagan v. Dist. Court, 1965-NMSC-089, 75 N.M. 390, 405 P.2d 232.

Therefore remedy of prohibition not available to state. — Where intervenor- defendant was ordered discharged from the custody of the warden of the penitentiary and the order was not appealed, it is accordingly final, and as intervenor was being detained within the first judicial district, there can be no question that respondent-district court judge had jurisdiction to consider intervenor's petition for habeas corpus and the remedy of prohibition is thus not available to the state. Rodriguez v. Dist. Court, 1971- NMSC-101, 83 N.M. 200, 490 P.2d 458.
