The Rhode Island Waiver of Extradition Proceedings is a legal document that is used to waive the right to challenge the extradition of a person that is alleged to have committed a crime in another state. It is signed by the accused and witnessed by a court official. When a person is arrested in Rhode Island for a crime that was allegedly committed in another state, he or she may be extradited from Rhode Island back to the state in which the crime was allegedly committed. By signing the Waiver of Extradition Proceedings, the accused waives their right to challenge the extradition and agrees to be transferred to the other state. There are two types of Waivers of Extradition Proceedings in Rhode Island: the Voluntary Waiver and the Involuntary Waiver. A Voluntary Waiver is signed by the accused voluntarily, without being forced or compelled. An Involuntary Waiver is signed when the accused has been ordered by a court to sign the Waiver in order to be transferred to the other state.
