As far as I'm aware there are no statutory timeframes for the process of extradition. As long as the legal process between the two states has begun and is progressing, then it takes as long as it takes. Lesson to be learned? When there is a warrant for you turn yourself in and then you won't be spending weeks in someone else's jail.

∙ 11y ago10 but the requesting state can file for an additional 30 days ; then , drag you around from state to state , jail to jail until you wind up where you left even if it is a misdemeanor and you are on Felony probation in the requesting state. Otherwise I have seen someone extradited from Panama to Iowa for felony marijauna posession. Misdemeanor=No [unless newly acquired whilst on probation which is a felony] New Felony=yes , Anywhere , USA

∙ 14y agoIf the person is being held for extradition. once the process has begun it takes as long as it takes. It is nowhere near as easy as simply driving over the state line and picking them up. A formal inter-state legal and administrative process must be begun and followed in order to legally take custody of the defendant and remove them from one state to another. If you haven't heard anything in 30-60 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine where the process stands.
