Procedimientos para la Custodia Temporal de Prisioneros

Explicación Simple

Si alguien está en la cárcel y hay un juicio en otro estado, pueden pedir que lo trasladen allí para que lo juzguen. Esto ayuda a que el juicio se realice más rápido y sin complicaciones. Si no lo juzgan a tiempo, el caso puede cerrarse.
