§ 16-19-113 — Confinement in jail

The officer or person executing the
governor's warrant of arrest, or the agent of the demanding state to whom the
prisoner has been delivered, when necessary, may confine the prisoner in the jail in
any county or city through which he may pass. 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 person being chargeable with the expense of
keeping. The officer or agent of a demanding state to whom a prisoner has been
delivered following extradition proceedings in another state, or to whom a prisoner
has been delivered after waiving extradition in such other state, and who is passing
through this state with the prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning the
prisoner to the demanding state, when necessary, may confine the prisoner in the
jail of any county or city through which he may pass. 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, such officer or agent, however, being chargeable
with the expense of keeping; but 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 such 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.
