Rhode Island Waiver of Extradition Proceedings is a legal procedure whereby an individual who has been charged with a crime in another state or jurisdiction and is in Rhode Island can waive their right to an extradition hearing in Rhode Island and instead voluntarily surrender themselves to the requesting state or jurisdiction. This process typically involves the accused signing a document agreeing to the transfer and their attorney making an appearance in court to waive their right to a hearing. There are two types of Rhode Island Waiver of Extradition Proceedings: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary Waiver of Extradition Proceedings occurs when the accused willingly agrees to waive their right to an extradition hearing and be transferred to the requesting state or jurisdiction. An involuntary Waiver of Extradition Proceedings occurs when the accused does not agree to the transfer and the court orders the accused to be extradited.
