Although they can't hold you forever, if you are being held in 'County A' because of an active Warrant in 'County B' AND you are in the same state, there is no maximum hold time set by statute. A warrant from one county within the same state for a violation of a state criminal law holds the same weight, regardless of which county the individual was arrested in.

A Bench Warrant is issued by a judge and unless the warrant is 'quashed' or withdrawn by that judge, the hold will stay in effect. However, if there is some untimely delay in picking the inmate up and returning him to the where he is 'wanted' he could file a Writ of Habeus Corpus, the outcome which will have the effect of either releasing him or expediting his return.


Does a person being arrested on a warrant from another county within the same statehave to be booked into the arresting counties jail prior to being extradited?

Not necessarily. If the county holding the warrant could respond quickly, the jail having the prisoner in custody might just keep them in a waiting area until the officers from the other county arrived. When the prisoner was taken back to the county with the warrant, this would not be a "extradition." Extradition occurs only between states.
