  2. Title 22

The officer or persons executing the Governor's warrant of

arrest, or the agent 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 he may pass; and the keeper

of such jail must receive and safely keep the prisoner until the

officer or person having charge of him is ready to proceed on his

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 he may

pass; and the keeper of such jail must receive and safely keep the

prisoner until the officer or agent having charge of him is ready to

proceed on his route, such officer or agent, however, being

chargeable with the expense of keeping; provided, however, that such

officer or agent shall produce and show to the keeper of such jail

satisfactory written evidence of the fact that he 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.
