5  Dealing with removed prisoner

 (1) Every prisoner removed in pursuance of this Act shall, until he or she is returned in pursuance of this Act, be dealt with in the State or Territory to which he or she is removed, in like manner as if his or her sentence (with such variation of the conditions thereof as is prescribed by regulations made under paragraph (b) of section fourteen of this Act) had been duly awarded in that State or Territory, and shall be subject accordingly to all laws in force in that State or Territory.

 (2) Notwithstanding anything contained in the last preceding subsection, the conviction, judgment, and sentence of a prisoner may be questioned in the Territory from which he or she has been removed in the same manner as if he or she had not been removed, and his or her sentence may be remitted, and his or her discharge ordered, in the same manner and by the same authority as if he or she had not been removed.

 (3) The officer in charge of any prison, on request by any person having the custody of a prisoner under a warrant issued in pursuance of this Act, and on payment or tender of such amount for expenses as the Government of the State or Territory in which the prison is situated determines, shall receive the prisoner and detain him or her for such time as is requested by the person for the purpose of the proper execution of the warrant.
