Does Colorado extradite prisoners

Answer 1

All states extradite to Colorado, provided that legal standards are satisfactorily met. For as with the other 49 states within the United States of America, Colorado tends to respect, and cooperate with, other states on extradition requests. All of the 50 states recognize that extradition tends to be requested for the serious, felony charges. It's only when a country other than the U.S. becomes involved that the states don't interact, and take no decisionmaking role. For involvement of Another Country always is a federal concern.

Answer 2

Can a person be extradited to Colorado from Oregon based on a mere accusation or does there have to be a conviction or something more substantial? How does a person find out if there is a warrant for their arrest in Denver Colorado? I have been unsucessful with the courts and the police. Thank you

Answer 3

Colorado and all of the other 49 states within the United States of America tend to respect, and cooperate with, each other over extradition requests, depending upon the charge and if certain legal standards are met. For extradition tends to be requested over the serious, felony charges. But neither Colorado nor any one of the other states makes the decisions if a country other than the U.S. is involved. For involvement of another country always calls for decisionmaking by the federal government.

Answer 4

It is unlikely UNLESS the crime was a so-called capital crime in which case they could request that the US Dept of Justice and the US State Department activate any existing extradition treaties with the country the offender may have fled to.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as an "extradition free" State. Federal law dictates extradition between States and no State can refuse to extradite to another State.

Answer 6

Yes. But it also depends on the crime
