2006 Minnesota Statutes

629.12 ACCUSED MAY BE CONFINED IN JAIL.
The officer or persons executing the governor's warrant of arrest, or the agents of the
demanding state to whom the prisoner may have been delivered, may, when necessary, confine
the prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which they may pass; and the keeper of
such jail must receive and safely keep the prisoner until the officer or person having charge of
the prisoner is ready to proceed on the route, such officer or person being chargeable with the
expense of keeping.
The officer or agent of a demanding state to whom a prisoner may have been delivered
following extradition proceedings in another state, or to whom a prisoner may have been delivered
after waiving extradition in such other state, and who is passing through this state with such a
prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning such prisoner to the demanding state, may,
when necessary, confine the prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which the officer or
agent may pass; and the keeper of such jail must receive and safely keep the prisoner until the
officer or agent having charge of the prisoner is ready to proceed on the route, such officer or
agent being chargeable with the expense of keeping; provided, that such officer or agent shall
produce and show to the keeper of such jail satisfactory written evidence of the fact that the
officer or agent is actually transporting such prisoner to the demanding state after a requisition by
the executive authority of such demanding state. Such prisoner shall not be entitled to demand a
new requisition while in this state.
