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.
