Text

§775. Receiving state review of sending state acts; extradition
A. Any decision of the sending state in respect of any matter over which it retains
jurisdiction pursuant to this compact shall be conclusive upon and not reviewable within the
receiving state, but if at the time the sending state seeks to remove an inmate from an
institution in the receiving state there is pending against the inmate within such state any
criminal charge or if the inmate is formally accused of having committed within such state
a criminal offense, the inmate shall not be returned without the consent of the receiving state
until discharged from prosecution or other form of proceeding, imprisonment, or detention
for such offense. The duly accredited officer of the sending state shall be permitted to
transport inmates pursuant to this compact through any and all states party to this compact
without interference.
B. An inmate who escapes from an institution in which he is confined pursuant to
this compact shall be deemed a fugitive from the sending state and from the state in which
the institution escaped from is situated. In the case of an escape to a jurisdiction other than
the sending or receiving state, the responsibility for institution of extradition or rendition
proceedings shall be that of the sending state, but nothing contained in this Section shall be
construed to prevent or affect the activities of officers and agencies of any jurisdiction
directed toward the apprehension and return of an escapee.
