Section 570.30. Confinement of extradited persons passing through this state  


Latest version.
  • 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 such 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 such
      jail must receive and safely keep the  prisoner  until  the  officer  or
      agent  having  charge  of  him  is  ready  to proceed on his route, such
      officer or agent, however, being chargeable with the expense of keeping,
      provided, however, that such officer or agent shall produce and show  to
      the  keeper  of such jail satisfactory written evidence of the fact that
      he is actually transporting such prisoner to the demanding state after a
      requisition by the executive authority of such demanding state or waiver
      thereof.  Such person shall not be entitled to demand a new  requisition
      while in this state.
