The
Governor may, in his discretion, surrender, upon demand of the executive
authority of another state, any person found in this state, notwithstanding the
fact that a criminal prosecution or charges under the laws of this state are
pending against the person, that the person has already been convicted in this
state and is serving a sentence in any jail or penal institution of this state
or of any county or municipality thereof, or that the person is serving a
suspended or probationary sentence. The Governor may condition the release of
the prisoner to the demanding state upon such terms as he may stipulate,
including the condition that the prisoner be returned to this state immediately
after trial and before commencing the service of sentence, if any, in the
demanding state. In no case shall surrender of the prisoner be construed as a
complete relinquishment of jurisdiction by this state, but the prisoner shall
forthwith be returned to the custody of this state at the expense of the
demanding state immediately after trial in the demanding state or the completion
of sentence therein, as the case may be, except where the sentence of death has
been executed in the demanding state.
