If the person is being held for extradition. once the process has begun it takes as long as it takes. It is nowhere near as easy as simply driving over the state line and picking them up. A formal inter-state legal and administrative process must be begun and followed in order to legally take custody of the defendant and remove them from one state to another. If you haven't heard anything in 30-45 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine where the process stands.

Extradition is when a person is sent out of the state for a crime. The time a state can hold for extradition is generally around thirty days, but can depend on the state being extradited to.

How long can Washington state hold someone in jail awaiting extradition to California on a California warrant?

The legal term "extradition" does not apply to intra-state transfers of wanted fugitives. Extradition applies only to those fugitives removed state-to-state. It sounds like you are being held for a plain old prisoner transfer.


Can California arrest for a statewide warrant from Alabama?

No, California cannot arrest someone solely based on a statewide warrant from Alabama. The person would need to be located within California's jurisdiction and be subject to a specific arrest warrant issued by a California court or law enforcement agency. In order for California to take action, Alabama would need to seek extradition and follow the necessary legal process.

Yes, it is possible for Illinois to extradite someone from Mississippi for a felony charge, such as possession of weed with intent.

How long can lousaiana hold someone for extradition to Oregon?

Once the extraditing state has indicated that they WILL extradite you then the extradition process has been started. It is not immediate nor is it quick, there are many administrative and legal steps in removing someone from one state another for prosecution that must be taken to satisfy the law. If one is still incarcertaed awaiting removel after 30 days, file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to detemine the status of your extradition.


Does Alabama produce coal and oil?

Yes. Alabama produces coal and oil. It has a greater variety of minerals than any other state in the Union. George Washington Carver said, "It would be possible to build a wall 10 feet high around Alabama. Alabama has everything necessary and does not need anything from any other state." Actually, Alabama needs someone from this century, not two centuries ago to look around and see the opportunities.


Where can criminals live without expropriation?

Expropriation means to take someone else's property for yourself. Extradition, which is I believe what you're referring to, is the legal surrender of a fugitive to the jurisdiction of another state, country, or government for trial. Extradition is usually determined by an extradition treaty between two nations. In other words, whether one can or will be extradited depends on the nation seeking extradition and the nation in which the individual is residing. Specifically, I don't know of any countries that lack extradition treaties without extradition treaties, but even as such, a nation can surrender an individual on a case-by-case basis if they so choose.
