The term EXTRADITION does not apply to intra-state (within state) prisoner transfers. Since the prisoner is within the same state in which they committed their crime, the laws of the state apply equally to both counties there are no legal ramifications to moving a wanted prisoner from one county to another. Usually it is more a matter of county-to-county coordination and the availablity of manpower. If you committed a state offense, initially you can legally be charged with that offense regardless of which county captured you.

If the person is being held for extradition. once the process has begun it takes as long as it takes. It is nowhere near as easy as simply driving over the state line and picking them up. A formal inter-state legal and administrative process must be begun and followed in order to legally take custody of the defendant and remove them from one state to another. If you haven't heard anything in 30 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine where the process stands.

Once FL has confirmed that VA actually DOES want the prisoner and WILL extradite them, the process has begun and can take as long as it takes. It is both an administrative and a legal process between the two states and it is not an overnight processnor as simple as returning someone from one county to another within a state.
