Title 17, Chapter 13, Section 32
( 17-13-32)
(a) The officer or persons executing the Governor's warrant of
arrest or the agent of the demanding state to whom the prisoner may
have been delivered may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in the
jail of any county or city through which he may pass; and the keeper
of the jail must receive and safely keep the prisoner until the
officer or person having charge of him is ready to proceed on his
route, such officer or person being chargeable with the expense of
keeping. (b) The officer or agent of a demanding state to whom a prisoner may
have been delivered following extradition proceedings in another
state, or to whom a prisoner may have been delivered after waiving
extradition in such other state, and who is passing through this
state with such a prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning
the prisoner to the demanding state may, when necessary, confine the
prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which he may
pass; and the keeper of the jail must receive and safely keep the
prisoner until the officer or agent having charge of him is ready to
proceed on his route, the officer or agent, however, being
chargeable with the expense of keeping; provided, however, that the
officer or agent shall produce and show to the keeper of the jail
satisfactory written evidence of the fact that he is actually
transporting the prisoner to the demanding state after a requisition
by the executive authority of the demanding state. The prisoner
shall not be entitled to demand a new requisition while in this
state. |
