Uniform Criminal Extradition Act
Illinois · Criminal Procedure · §§ 725-225-1 to 725-225-9 · 32 sections
Overview
The act governs interstate extradition — the arrest, custody, and surrender of people charged with or convicted of crimes in one state and found in another. It sets out how a governor responds to a demand from another state, investigating the request and issuing a warrant of arrest for delivery of the accused to the demanding state's agent, and how a governor makes the same demand for fugitives from the governor's own state, including the verified application and supporting documents a prosecuting attorney must supply. It also covers arrest before a requisition arrives, commitment and bail while one is awaited, the rights of an accused person before delivery and the ability to test the legality of the arrest by habeas corpus, written waiver of proceedings and voluntary return, passage of prisoners through the state, immunity from civil process, and the limited scope of the hearing, which turns on whether the person held is the one charged rather than on guilt.
