I was told by a local officer that TN will only hold an inmate for 72 hour before releasing them. They will only allow another state 72 hours to come pick you up no matter what state they are coming from. I don't think that's correct. My husband is awaiting extradition to Alabama as I type this. He has been sitting in jail since July the 9th. He has a courtdate for the extradition on July 15th. The officer that picked my husband up said Alabama had 10 days to pick him up and if they were not here in 10 days, they would let him go. Basically, I think it depends on the type of charge. And depending on the charge will depend on if they want to spend the money to come get you / him. I will just say from personal experience that when I was waiting for Jacksonville to come get me from Orlando Fl they made me wait 63 days to be extradited.Jacksonville had to call every 10 days to say they still wanted me.As long as they say they want you then you will sit there.The time you sit is usually credited towards you sentence.(Depends on the judge)Now when I had to wait for Florida to come get me from Tennnessee they got me on the 7th day but the extradition was miserable cuz they picked up other people and went through a bunch of states which was a 5 day trip shackled and handcuffed in the transport van.THat was the worst experience ever.My advice is if you can try not to get in trouble outside the city you live in.I found this out the hard way....:)

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).
