They check with the state in which you committed the offense to determine if that state will extradite you. If so, you will be held until the administrative and legal process takes place that will legally allow you to be transferred back. This process is known as extradition, and does not necessarily happen overnight due to the process that must take place.

Is Hawaii a extradition state?

ALL US States will extradite (it's actually called Rendition) a person that commits a serious crime in their state, and flees to another state. If a person commits a crime in another state and flees to Hawai'i, the state where the crime was committed will request Hawai'i to return (render) them- and they will. Same for crimes committed in Hawai'i. Extradition is actually when someone flees to another country. Hawai'i is part of the US, of course.


If a fugitive is arrested for another felony crime in another state will they be extritedto the original state where they are a fugitive?

I believe the person will have to stand trial in both states. Because the fugitive was arrested for another crime in a different state, that state may elect to keep them in custody until he/she is convicted. However, at some point in time, he/she will also be brought back to the state of his original crime to face charges there.
