The process of one state seeking the return of a person from another state is technically not extradition- it is rendition. Authorities in one state request authorities in the other state to arrest and return the person to answer to criminal charges.

Extradition involves two separate countries.

How do you find out if a misdemeanor warrant has been issued for you in another state?

Warrants are a matter of public record and police departments and other law enforcement agencies generally post them on their website and/or in some cases newspapers print a list of persons who have active warrants. The information can also be found through online court records but the interested party would probably need to know the court, the date and the docket number where the warrant was issued. The best place to start would be to do a search of the county police department website where it is believed the warrant may have been issued. Added: To my knowledge, there are no publicly accessible websites or databases that reveal this information. Simplest and easiest way is to call your local law enforcement agency and simply ask.

How long can a county hold an inmate before they extradite them?

It depends, If the inmate is fighting extradition and is going to make the demanding state get a gov. warrent They have 30 days. and then they file for another 60 day ext. a total of 90 days.

If the inmate signs a extradition waiver, the demanding state has 10 days to make arrangements to pick up. and up to 30 to pick them up. If the demanding state does not make arrangement in 10 days of pick up in 30 the inmate is released. Sometimes the demanding state will make arrangements within the 10 days and then not pick them up and the inmate is there for 30 days from the time he signs the waiver. The days before the waiver is signed do not count.

Here is the actual statue that says nothing about 10 days, just an FYI:

§ 2963.13. Fugitive to be confined pending requisition.

If from the examination before the judge or magistrate it appears that the person held under section 2963.11 or 2963.12 of the Revised Code is the person charged with having committed the crime alleged and that he has fled from justice, the judge or magistrate must, by a warrant reciting the accusation, commit him to the county jail for such a time, not to exceed thirty days and specified in the warrant, as will enable the arrest of the accused to be made under a warrant of the governor on a requisition of the executive authority of the state having jurisdiction of the offense, unless the accused furnishes bail or until he is legally discharged.

What is a waiver of extradition?

Example: you a charged with a crime in NC. You evaded arrest, so now there's an "outstanding warrant" for your arrest. You're in Iowa, you get pulled over and the cop runs your license, you'll pop on the warrant if the cop decides to do a detailed search, as oppose to just searching in Iowa; or if you're entered into the NCIC database, then it's a nation-wide warrant because now you're a "Wanted Person". Iowa, the arresting/sending state has to arrest you on your "out of county warrant". Iowa will then call NC and ask if they will come get you (extradite). If NC says no, then Iowa has to release you, because you are not charged with any crime in Iowa. If NC says yes, then Iowa must hold you, at the expense of NC, until they come get you. NC has 30 days to process their paperwork, to get a formal request for the demand of Iowa to surrender you over to face your charges in NC. This formal request is a Governor's request from NC for your return. However, you can also fight extradition base on legal grounds; such as, if the crime you're charge with in NC is not a crime in Iowa, you can request Iowa to deny extradition; or if the crime you are charged with carries a death penalty sentence in NC, but since Iowa does not practice capital punishment, you can request Iowa deny extradition base on that. Waiving extradition means you consent to be return from Iowa to NC. People usually choose to waive extradition because once waived, the requesting state has 10 days to come get you; as oppose to the 30 days for the formal request, or the months of trial when you fight extradition. Waiving extradition does not mean you are entering any plea or admitting to anything; it simple means you are willing to return to the state that wants you to face their charges.

Short Answer: If apprehended on a warrant and being held for extradition you can voluntarily choose to return (waive extradition) or you can choose to fight extradition in the court system of the state that apprehended you.

Can a person in minnesota jail be extradited to Wisconsin for child support?

Probably not. Extradition is the process used when a person is in custody in one jurisdiction, but has an active warrant in another jurisdiction. In most cases, child support is a civil matter, and therefore does not bring up the issue of warrants as in a criminal matter.

If, however, there is some reason that a warrant has been issued with regard to the child support issue, then yes, the person can be extradited. The Wisconsin authorities would be notified of the person's location, and would then determine whether or not the warrant merited the expense of going to pick up the defendant and transporting him/her back to Wisconsin.

What are the extradition laws for state to state extradition within the United States?

It depends on the charge and location where you are now and where the state that the warrant was issued. Some charges, if pulled over, etc in one state... and they run your license and it pulls up the warrant, they would go ahead and arrest you, but they then would contact the agency that issued the warrant. It then depends if that state "wanted" you or if they were not going to pursue the matter (i.e. cost them more to extradite/have a hearing than original charge). This isn't likely, but sometimes they do not worry about extradition. Either way, once arrested, the agency issuing the warrant must pick you up within 30 days, or you will be released. It all depends on the charge, whether it was state or federal (federal... automatic extradition), and the state which crime occurred and your current state. More information is at 18 U.S.C. § 3182.
