§ 1405. Acts not reviewable in receiving state: extradition—Article V
- (a) Any decision of the sending state in respect of any matter over which it retains jurisdiction
pursuant to this compact shall be conclusive upon and not reviewable within the receiving
state, but if at the time the sending state seeks to remove an inmate from an institution
in the receiving state there is pending against the inmate within such state any criminal
charge or if the inmate is formally accused of having committed within such state
a criminal offense, the inmate shall not be returned without the consent of the receiving
state until discharged from prosecution or other form of proceeding, imprisonment
or detention for such offense. The duly accredited officers of the sending state
shall be permitted to transport inmates pursuant to this compact through any and all
states party to this compact without interference. (b) An inmate who escapes from an institution in which he or she is confined pursuant
to this compact shall be deemed a fugitive from the sending state and from the state
in which the institution is situated. In the case of an escape to a jurisdiction
other than the sending or receiving state, the responsibility for institution of extradition
or rendition proceedings shall be that of the sending state, but nothing contained
herein shall be construed to prevent or affect the activities of officers and agencies
of any jurisdiction directed toward the apprehension and return of an escapee. (Added 1961, No. 213, § 2, eff. July 11, 1961.)
