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 or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILLextradite for felony offenses.

What are the extradition laws between the states?

Basically the laws of every state with regard to extradition are the same: if a person is arrested in the state from the one that issued the warrant, the person is taken to the county jail of that jurisdiction and awaits extradition to the County seeking the person. Normally an extradition hearing is held to determine whether the individual is in fact the one that is being held for extradition. The individual can admit he is such person being sought (he is not admitting guilt) or challenge this. The state is seeking the person generally has up to two weeks to arrange for the defendant to be transferred, or the defendant can be released.

How can a state hold you in another state jail if there laws plainly say no extradition?

If it's a US state, then the laws are clear, as outlined in the Interstate Rendition Clause, one state MUST imprison and extradite a felon to the state in which he committed a crime, on request from that state. The law you might be thinking of is extradition to a foreign country, as foreign relations would be handled on a federal level rather than dealing with the state itself.
