BENCH WARRANT- "An order by the court directed to a law enforcement agency to arrest a person for disobeying a subpoena or failing to appear before the Court as ordered."

So... as long as it takes for the judge/magistrate to see and sentence you for failing to appear. As long as necessary.

When you have served your period of incarceration in the first county, before they release you they should check to see if there are any other "criminal holds" on you. When they find the bench warrant they will hold you for the other county to come get you and return you to the court that issued the bench warrant.

A "Bench Warrant" is a warrant for arrest issued directly by a court. All court systems in the US grant receprocity to one another therefore, yes, a NJ bench warrant is good in OK.

What is a bench warrant?

Usually, a Bench Warrant is issued by the judge in the proceeding that you did not show up for. These can be for any court proceeding that you should have been in attendance. More generally speaking, a judge can issue a bench warrant for anybody, and for any reason, although their proceedings are subject to reveiw by higher courts and higher judges. The "to hold" is, I don't think the right terminology. because if you are picked-up on a bench warrant, you will see the judge before you get out.
