Purpose. The interstate agreement on detainers and the extradition act are both intended to serve the purpose of forcing a recalcitrant defendant who is no longer within the state where charges are pending to stand trial. Moen v. Wilson, 189 Colo. 85, 536 P.2d 1129 (1975).
Transfer of custody not a waiver of jurisdiction. This article contemplates that the mere transfer of custody to another jurisdiction will not be deemed a presumptive or implied waiver of jurisdiction by the demanding state. Schoengarth v. Bray, 200 Colo. 288, 615 P.2d 655 (1980).
Interstate agreement on detainers is inapplicable to a defendant whose custody is sought by traditional extradition procedures. People v. Quackenbush, 687 P.2d 448 (Colo. 1984).
Parolee was not entitled to insist upon utilization of Extradition Act rather than the Parole Supervision Act to effectuate his return to paroling state merely because he was initially advised of his rights under the Extradition Act. People v. Velarde, 739 P.2d 845 (Colo. 1987).
Applied in Guy v. Nelson, 630 P.2d 610 (Colo. 1981).
