A compact entered into by and among the contracting states,

signatories hereto, with the consent of the Congress of the United

States of America, granted by an act entitled "An act granting the

consent of Congress to any two or more states to enter into

agreements or compacts for cooperative effort and mutual assistance

in the prevention of crime and for other purposes."

The contracting states solemnly agree:

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 57. Prisons and Reformatories Page 97

(1) That it shall be competent for the duly constituted judicial

and administrative authorities of a state party to this compact

(herein called "sending state"), to permit any person convicted of

an offense within such state and placed on probation or released on

parole to reside in any other state party to this compact (herein

called "receiving state"), while on probation or parole, if

(a) Such person is in fact a resident of or has his family

residing with the receiving state and can obtain employment there;

(b) Though not a resident of the receiving state and not having

his family residing there, the receiving state consents to such

person being sent there.

Before granting such permission, opportunity shall be granted to

the receiving state to investigate the home and prospective

employment of such person.

A resident of the receiving state, within the meaning of this

section, is one who has been an actual inhabitant of such state

continuously for more than one (1) year prior to his coming to the

sending state and has not resided within the sending state more than

six (6) continuous months immediately preceding the commission of

the offense for which he has been convicted.

(2) That each receiving state will assume the duties of

visitation of and supervision over probationers or parolees of any

sending state and in the exercise of those duties will be governed

by the same standards that prevail for their own probationers and

parolees.

(3) That duly accredited officers of a sending state may at all

times enter a receiving state and there apprehend and retake any

person on probation or parole. For that purpose no formalities will

be required other than establishing the authority of the officer and

the identity of the person to be retaken. Any legal requirements to

obtain extradition of fugitives from justice are hereby expressly

waived on the part of states party hereto, as to such persons. The

decision of the sending state to retake a person on probation or

parole shall be conclusive upon and not reviewable within the

receiving state: Provided, however, that if at the time when a state

seeks to retake a probationer or parolee there should be pending

against him within the receiving state any criminal charge, or he

should be suspected of having committed within such state a criminal

offense, he shall not be retaken without the consent of the

receiving state until discharged from prosecution or from

imprisonment for such offense.

(4) That the duly accredited officers of the sending state will

be permitted to transport prisoners being retaken through any and

all states parties to this compact, without interference.

(5) That the Governor of each state may designate an officer

who, acting jointly with like officers of other contracting states,

if and when appointed, shall promulgate such rules and regulations

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 57. Prisons and Reformatories Page 98

as may be deemed necessary to more effectively carry out the terms

of this compact.

(6) That this compact shall become operative immediately upon

its execution by any state as between it and any other state or

states so executing. When executed it shall have the full force and

effect of law within such state, the form of execution to be in

accordance with the laws of the executing state.

(7) That this compact shall continue in force and remain binding

upon each executing state until renounced by it. The duties and

obligations hereunder of a renouncing state shall continue as to

parolees or probationers residing therein at the time of withdrawal

until retaken or finally discharged by the sending state.

Renunciation of this compact shall be by the same authority which

executed it, by sending six (6) months' notice in writing of its

intention to withdraw from the compact to the other state party

hereto.
