If it's a US state, then the laws are clear, as outlined in the Interstate Rendition Clause, one state MUST imprison and extradite a felon to the state in which he committed a crime, on request from that state.

The law you might be thinking of is extradition to a foreign country, as foreign relations would be handled on a federal level rather than dealing with the state itself.

What are the extradition laws Texas extradition If you have a warrant in another county in Texas?

One county within the same state will honor another county's arrest warrant and hold you until they come to transport you back to the county that wants you. The actual legal act defined as "extradition" doesn't come into play in INTRAstate removals. Extradition only applies to INTERstate removals.

There is no such thing as EXTRADITION between counties of the same state. They simply do a "courtesy hold" on you until the other county sends someone for you. Extradition is a legal term used when governments remove people from state to state or nation to nation.


How long can Oakland county jail mi hold an inmate for extradition to another state Indiana?

They can hold them as long as they need to for the state of Indiana to pick them up. Unfortunately in this type of situation you are at the mercy of both states - Oakland could release them and have Indiana issue a warrant for their arrest or hold them for extradition as long as they want. The crimes are probably pretty serious if Indiana is willing to come pick you up for extradition so it probably won't take long (not more than a month).

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.


How long can the state of Washington hold someone for extradition to Alabama before they have to release them?

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.

If you have a warrant for a Felony 5 in Ohio can authorities come get you in another state if so in what states?

Yes, if OH puts out a wanted person notice on the interstate computer system and says they will extradite you back to OH, ANY other state can arrest you and hold you until OH comes and gets you. This is known as EXTRADITION. There are no 'safe haven' states. ALL US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition.
