Will Kansas extradite from out of state for a misdemeanor probation violation?

Answer 1

In this day and age of budget crunches, it may seem unlikely - BUT - where the law is concerned, never say "never!" All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.

In this day and age of budget crunches, it may seem unlikely that they would extradite a misdemeanor. However . . . wherever the law is concerned... never say "never."

Answer 3

To my knowledge there is no "felony" or "Misdemeanor" probation violation. If you violate probation, you are in contempt of court, and you have violated an administrative rule. both of which can get you sent back to jail to serve your sentence for the conviction for which you were serving probation.

And, yes, Kansas will extradite for a probation violation if the supervising state requests it.
