ANNOTATION
General assembly has recognized the need for interstate cooperation in the corrections field by enacting this compact. People v. Lewis, 193 Colo. 203, 564 P.2d 111 (1977).
This compact applies to inmate transfers to state facilities in Colorado but does not apply to inmate transfers to private correctional facilities in Colorado, which are governed by § 17-1-104.5. Slater v. McKinna, 997 P.2d 1196 (Colo. 2000).
A transfer out of Colorado to another state's penal institution does not constitute a waiver by Colorado of exercising any further jurisdiction over the inmate unless the waiver is manifestly intended. Hunt v. Colo. Dept. of Corr., 985 P.2d 651 (Colo. 1999).
Applied in People v. Scott, 630 P.2d 615 (Colo. 1981).
