“[t]his agreement shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate its purposes.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“not only misreads the purpose [of the IAD], but effectively emasculates it as well. The Legislature enacted no specific requirement that a prisoner, for whose benefit the IAD was enacted, be apprised of the technical aspects of the law. Indeed, the Legislature has placed one, and only one burden on the prisoner, that is, to ask the prison official who has custody over him to prepare and send the forms to the jurisdiction from which a detainer is lodged against him.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Henager v. State · State v. Pair“The burden of compliance with the procedural requirements of the IAD rests upon the party states and their agents; the prisoner, who is to benefit from this statute, is not to be held accountable for official administrative errors which deprive him of that benefit.”
