If you are picked up on warrants and held as a fugitive the apprehending state notifies the state that wants you. If that state still wants you they will initiate action to secure a Governor's Warrant (more commonly known as a Warrant of Eextradition. THEN - the legal process between the two states begins to arrange your release from the apprehending state and them turning you over to the custody of the 'wanting' state. If the state that put the warrant out for you no longer wants you back, they will notify the apprehending state and the state holding you will release you, unless they happen to want you for some offense that you committed in THEIR state. All this legal administratove process takes time.

SOME states MAY release you on a Writ of Habeus Corpus after a certain time has elapsed, but the questioner would have to determine if there is such an option in the state that is holding them. Other than that possible exception, as far as I'm aware there are no statutory timeframe for the process of extradition. As long as the legal process between the two states has begun and is in progress, then it can take as long as it takes.

The extradition process DOES take longer if the fugitive is fighting their extradition.

Lesson to be learned? When there is a warrant out for you turn yourself in and then you won't be spending wasted time in someone else's jail.

What states do not extradite to New York?

Realistically, in the budget crunch that all states are undergoing these days, they MAY not want to bother with bringing you back for a misdemeanor offense - HOWEVER - that being said - it cannot be 100% counted on to save you. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.
