A prisoner is allowed to waive extradition. This means the prisoner wants to be returned to the demanding state and is giving up his or her right to an extradition hearing. If you waive extradition, the demanding state only has 30 days to come get you. A person may also waive extradition to negotiate a lower sentence in the demanding state. Finally, a prisoner may waive extradition because they do not want to spend up to 90 days in custody waiting to see if a Governor’s warrant will be procured.
