Return of warrant on execution of sentence

Summary
After a sentence is fully carried out, the officer who executed it must return the warrant to the court that issued it. The officer must attach a signed endorsement certifying the manner in which the sentence was executed. This provides the issuing court an official record that the warrant has been completed.
