““However, one incarcerated in an institution of the federal government or that of some other jurisdiction must affirmatively request a trial in order to activate the statute and to avail himself of its protection. Lee v. State, 185 Ark. 253 , 47 S.W. 2d 11 (1932). See also, Bedwell v. Circuit Court of Lawrence County, 248 Ark. 866 , 454 S.W. 2d 304 ; Pellegrini v. Wolfe, Judge, 225 Ark. 459 283 S.W. 2d 162 (1955). So, too, a fugitive (escapee) from this jurisdiction, once he has been recaptured and returned to prison, can thereafter claim a reinvestment of his rights under this statute. Merritt v. State, supra, [ 244 Ark. 921 , 428 S.W. 2d 66 (1968)]””
