2021 Delaware Code|Title 11 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure|Chapter 25. Extradition and Detainers|Subchapter II. Detainers; Uniform Agreement on Detainers|§ 2540. Preamble; purpose.

§ 2540. Preamble; purpose. The Agreement on Detainers is enacted into law and entered into by this State with all other jurisdictions legally joining therein in the form substantially as follows:    The contracting states solemnly agree that the party states find that charges outstanding against a prisoner, detainers based on untried indictments, informations or complaints, and difficulties in securing speedy trial of persons already incarcerated in other jurisdictions, produce uncertainties which obstruct programs of prisoner treatment and rehabilitation. Accordingly, it is the policy of the party states and the purpose of this agreement to encourage the expeditious and orderly disposition of such charges and determination of the proper status of any and all detainers based on untried indictments, informations or complaints. The party states also find that proceedings with reference to such charges and detainers, when emanating from another jurisdiction, cannot properly be had in the absence of cooperative procedures. It is the further purpose of this agreement to provide such cooperative procedures. 11 Del. C. 1953, §  2540;  57 Del. Laws, c. 223, §  1;
