§ 2963.10.

A peace officer or other person executing a warrant of arrest issued by the governor,

or an agent of the demanding state to whom the prisoner has been delivered, may, when

necessary, confine the prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which he

may pass. The officer or agent of a demanding state to whom a prisoner has been delivered following

extradition proceedings in another state, or to whom a prisoner has been delivered

after waiving extradition in such other state, and who is passing through this state

with such a prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning such prisoner to the

demanding state may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in the jail of any county

or city through which he may pass.  Such officer or agent shall produce and show to the keeper of such jail his warrant

and other written evidence of the fact that he is actually transporting such prisoner

to the demanding state after a requisition by the executive authority of such demanding

state.  Such prisoner may not demand a new requisition while in this state. The keeper of such jail must receive and safely keep a prisoner delivered to him under

this section, until the officer or agent having charge of him is ready to proceed

on his route.  Such officer or agent is chargeable with the expense of such keeping.
