The term "extradition" applies only to situations where a person is in one state and wanted for a criminal offense in another state. Within the same state, people can be transported from one county to another to face charges with no court intervention. The only obstacle is that the jurisdiction that wants the prisoner has to be willing to fetch them from wherever they are. Some areas have private transportation services that move prisoners from one jail to another on a regular route and schedule.

No. State are sovereign governments under the constitution, and one state cannot enter another state to retrieve a prisoner without permission from the state holding the prisoner. Counties are only political subdivisions within a state, and there are no such protections. A prisoner may be moved from one county to another within the same state with no court intervention or violation of rights.

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.
