A Governor's Warrant (also known as a 'Writ of Extradition') is applied for when the state wants a person who is a fugitive from the laws of their state and is apprehended and held in the custody of another state. It can take, as long as it takes, especially if the fugitive is fighting extradtion. If the detainee is held for more than 90 days - ask for an attorney and file a Writ of Habeus Corpus.

∙ 14y agoIt is not anything nearly as easy as driving over the state line to pick you up and take you back. There is no statutory time limit. The process is both an administrative and a legal one. When the 'apprehending' state notifies the 'wanting' state that they have you in custody, the wanting state begins filing the legal and administrative actions necessary to legally remove you from one state to another. However, if you are still being held for pick-up after 30 days, or so, file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to see where the process stands.

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.

If the fugitive is still awaiting extradition in jail after 60 - 90 days, they should file a Writ of Habeus Corpus.

Once the arresting state has notified the warrant-issuing state, and the extradition process has begun, it can take as long as it takes. Once the action is in progress there is no statutory limit on the length of time. It is by no means a 24-48 hour process and may well take longer, especially if the arrestee fights extradition. If the arrestee is held for more than 90 days he can request a writ of HABEUS CORPUS.
How long can Oakland county jail mi hold an inmate for extradition to another state Indiana?
They can hold them as long as they need to for the state of Indiana to pick them up. Unfortunately in this type of situation you are at the mercy of both states - Oakland could release them and have Indiana issue a warrant for their arrest or hold them for extradition as long as they want. The crimes are probably pretty serious if Indiana is willing to come pick you up for extradition so it probably won't take long (not more than a month).
