ANNOTATION
Purpose. The interstate agreement on detainers and the extradition act are both intended to serve the purpose of forcing a recalcitrant defendant who is no longer within the state where charges are pending to stand trial. Moen v. Wilson, 189 Colo. 85, 536 P.2d 1129 (1975).
Transfer of custody not a waiver of jurisdiction. This article contemplates that the mere transfer of custody to another jurisdiction will not be deemed a presumptive or implied waiver of jurisdiction by the demanding state. Schoengarth v. Bray, 200 Colo. 288, 615 P.2d 655 (1980).
Interstate agreement on detainers is inapplicable to a defendant whose custody is sought by traditional extradition procedures. People v. Quackenbush, 687 P.2d 448 (Colo. 1984).
