Once it has begun there are no statutory limits on how long it can take. You can be held for extradition for as long as the extradition process takes. It is not a quick process in that both administrative and legal procedures must be gone through to lawfully remove your from one state to the other. If you are still waiting after 60-90 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine where the process stands.

What happens if Louisiana doesn't pick up a prisoner for extradition in the time given?

WHAT "time given?" (???) 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 maybe 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.
