How long can a state hold you in their jail before they extradite you to the state where the crime was committed?

Extradition can be a lengthy process, and it takes as long as it takes. There is no statutory time limnit on this process. The legal process to extract a prisoner from one state to be tried in another is a tedious legal process between the two states, but once it has begun you must wait for it to play itself out. If you are still held in the apprehending state after the expiration of 60 - 90 days I suggest you file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to see where the action stands.

∙ 13y agoOnce the state that issued the warrant has been notified, and the legal process for extradition is set in motion, as long as the process is proceeding in a legal and timely manner there is no statutory time limit for that action to take place. If the fugitive is fighting extradition it will take even longer.
If no action occurs within 30 days he could file a writ of Habeus Corpus to see where the process stands.

What state does Oregon not extradite class b felony warrants?
i believe all states can and will extradite... it seems to depend rather on whether the crime was violent or not, whether the warrant says extradite... it does cost the state money to bring someone back. All i can say is that if you are on a Native American reservation they cannot extradite you unless they have the cooperation of the reservation police.
Can a person be charged twice for the same crime-like you live in one state and committed the crime in another state-can both states charge you?
If you have not committed a crime in the state you live in, then no you can't be charged twice of the same offense. That would be double jepordy, and is against the law. Your home state CAN hold you until the state you committed the crime in either extradites you or drops the chargesAdded: The above answer seems unclear.If you committed a crime in state "A" and then committed the same crime in state "B" then BOTH states can charge you seperately, because you committed a separate crime in each state.If you committed a crime only in state "A" but then fled to state "B," state "B" cannot try you for a crime you committed in another state. HOWEVER they can hold you in jail until state "A" comes for you to return you to state "A" for prosecution .
Is Hawaii a extradition state?
ALL US States will extradite (it's actually called Rendition) a person that commits a serious crime in their state, and flees to another state. If a person commits a crime in another state and flees to Hawai'i, the state where the crime was committed will request Hawai'i to return (render) them- and they will. Same for crimes committed in Hawai'i. Extradition is actually when someone flees to another country. Hawai'i is part of the US, of course.
