If the state that wants you has confirmed to OH that they WILL extradite then you can be held as long as the law allows and a judge permits. If you waive extradition it will probably go fairly quickly. If you fight extradition, you can challenge your jailing by questioning the authoority of the Governor's Warrant. You may also file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus with the court. It may or may not do any good.

∙ 15y agoOnce the legal process of extradition between the states has begun there is no statutory time limit on the process. It takes as long as it takes. It is by no means a fast process and can take varying amounts of time as the two states go through the steps to satisfy the legal requirments of the extradtion. It can take even longer if the arrestee fights it. If held more than 90 days I would suggest filing a writ of Habeus Corpus with the holding state.

I'm not aware of any states extraditing for a misdemeanor, but the misdemeanor warrant will remain active until the individual is arrested, therefore, if you go back to the state where there is a warrant, you are subject to being arrested.

How long can they keep you in jail when there has been a governors warrant issued?
A Governor's Warrant is also known as a Writ of Extradition. Once the state that wants you has indicated that they will extradite you, the holding state will keep you in jail until the formal legal process of extradition has been accomplished. This is not exactly a speedy process and if you are still in jail, awaiting extradtion, after 90 days I would suggest filing a Writ of Habeus Corpus.
How long is the process to request extradition?
A Governor's Warrant (also known as Extradition) is issued when the apprehending state officially notifies the "wanting" state of the fugitive's arrest. It is both a legal and an administrative process, and how long it takes is not governed by statute. It can take as long as it takes. If the fugitive is still awaiting extradition in jail after 60 - 90 days, they should file a Writ of Habeus Corpus.
