Re: extradition
Hello. In practice, the State of
Wisconsin should act quickly so that
the imprisoned person's rights will be protected. As a courtesy, based upon your posting, the county jail is holding this individual. If he/she remains in jail in Illinois for over 60 days, without being picked up by
Wisconsin authorities, I suggests that his family retain an attorney to get the imprisoned freed by filing a Petition For Habeas Corpus in Federal Court. I will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail.
