New extradition rules and costs for parolees

Louisiana’s parole committee can require an extradition waiver at release or later during parole, when appropriate for the case. Parolees under this condition agree not to challenge their return to Louisiana from anywhere, including outside the United States. The committee can require parolees returned from outside Louisiana to pay the full extradition cost. The committee sets the amount based on the person’s ability to pay. Payments go to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Division of Probation and Parole.

New extradition rules and costs for probationers

Louisiana courts can require an extradition waiver during probation when it fits the case and is reasonably related to rehabilitation. Probationers under this condition agree not to challenge their return to Louisiana from anywhere, including outside the United States. Courts can order probationers to pay the full extradition cost when extradition is warranted. Courts can set a payment plan based on the person’s ability to pay. Payments go to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Division of Probation and Parole.
