Once the process has begun there is no statutory limitation on the time it takes. It is a lengthy administrative and legal process to remove a wanted person from one state and return him to another. It takes.... as long as it takes. If you are still being held after the expiration of 30 days, file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to see where things stand.

Once the legal process of extradition has been set in motion and is proceeding there is no statutory time limit. It takes as long as it takes. If you are held for more than 90 days file a writ of Habeus Corpus. If you fight extradition, it can take even longer.

Not enough information to answer specific to the code, but it sounds like the only thing you need to know is the "hold for extradition" part. That means the extraditing state wants the subject returned.

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 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.


How long can Oklahoma hold your boyfriend on a felony charge before having to release him for extradition to Colorado?

If the person being held does not "waive" extradition it will take longer because of the detaining state having to hold an extradition hearing to satisfy their law that the extradition is being done 'legally.' There ARE legal pprocedures that must be followed and adhered to (i.e.- filing of papers - court hearing - arranging transportation, etc, etc) A 'reasonable' length of time by the jurisdiction issuing the warrant is expected. However it will seldom be as short as 24 hours, or even a week, but it should not take up to months either. If the delay seems unreasonably long a writ demanding action, or release can be filed with the detaining jurisdiction. If the detainee 'waives' extradition the process proceeds more quickly.


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.

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).
