For the purpose of assisting with apprehending individuals on parole who have absconded and for whom the parole commission has issued a warrant of arrest, the director of the department of correction shall have power to issue a subpoena duces tecum to compel the production of writings, documents or records of any type or form, specifically including those stored or transmitted by any electronic or wireless means. If any person or entity to whom such subpoena is directed refuses to produce the documents, writings or records sought, as directed, within seven (7) days of receipt of the subpoena, the director may apply to the district court of the county where the records are located for an order compelling such person or entity to comply with the subpoena. Failure to obey such order may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof.
