How long will Tennessee hold someone for extradition?

I was told by a local officer that TN will only hold an inmate for 72 hour before releasing them. They will only allow another state 72 hours to come pick you up no matter what state they are coming from. I don't think that's correct. My husband is awaiting extradition to Alabama as I type this. He has been sitting in jail since July the 9th. He has a courtdate for the extradition on July 15th. The officer that picked my husband up said Alabama had 10 days to pick him up and if they were not here in 10 days, they would let him go. Basically, I think it depends on the type of charge. And depending on the charge will depend on if they want to spend the money to come get you / him. I will just say from personal experience that when I was waiting for Jacksonville to come get me from Orlando Fl they made me wait 63 days to be extradited.Jacksonville had to call every 10 days to say they still wanted me.As long as they say they want you then you will sit there.The time you sit is usually credited towards you sentence.(Depends on the judge)Now when I had to wait for Florida to come get me from Tennnessee they got me on the 7th day but the extradition was miserable cuz they picked up other people and went through a bunch of states which was a 5 day trip shackled and handcuffed in the transport van.THat was the worst experience ever.My advice is if you can try not to get in trouble outside the city you live in.I found this out the hard way....:)

Will Washington extradite you back to Arizona on a misdemeanor warrant issued there?

Usually not in Texas, but have a better likelihood in Oregon or Idaho. But most often they will not extradite you even if you are in a neighboring county. I would take care of your warrant, because with the new flying disclosure law of names and birth dates they have been picking up more warrants out of the airport. So you may want to take care of the warrant so when you go on a vacation out of the country you are not arrested upon entry.

How long does a county have to extradite an inmate from one county to another?

The term EXTRADITION does not apply to intra-state (within state) prisoner transfers. Since the prisoner is within the same state in which they committed their crime, the laws of the state apply equally to both counties there are no legal ramifications to moving a wanted prisoner from one county to another. Usually it is more a matter of county-to-county coordination and the availablity of manpower. If you committed a state offense, initially you can legally be charged with that offense regardless of which county captured you.

How long can someone be held after sentence for extradition from Florida to Massachusetts?

If the person being held does not "waive" extradition it will take some timebecause the detaining state has to hold an extradition hearing to satisfy their law that the extradition is being done 'legally.' There ARE legal procedures that must be followed and adhered to (i.e.- filing of papers - court hearing - arranging transportation, etc, etc) A 'reasonable' length of time by the jurisdiction issuing the warrant is expected. However it will seldom be as short as 24 hours, or even a week, but it should not take up to months either. If the delay seems unreasonably long a writ demanding action, or release can be filed with the detaining jurisdiction. If the detainee "waives" extradition the process proceeds much more quickly.
