keeping.

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 the officer or agent

to the keeper of such jail satisfactory written evidence of the fact that the
officer or agent is actually transporting such prisoner to the demanding state
after a requisition by the executive authority of such demanding state. Such
prisoner shall not be entitled to demand a new requisition while in this state.
