How Colorado Extradition Works for Out-of-State Criminal Charges

If you or someone you know is facing criminal charges in Colorado from another state, understanding the extradition process is crucial. Extradition is when one jurisdiction surrenders a suspected or convicted criminal to another.

Individuals facing extradition have rights and options, including contesting it in court, which may delay the process. Cooperation with legal counsel is vital.
