Have any of you had any experiences with the extradtion vans/teams?
I met a lady who was being extradited from Tennessee to Florida. She rode the bus for a week straight, in handcuffs and ankle shackles with the black box at her waist the whole time, in a sitting position, and only allowed a couple of bathroom visits per day. She didn't get to brush her teeth, take a shower, brush her hair or anything during that week. She stated that they were fed from McDonald's 3 times a day and had to eat with the handcuffs and belly chain on. She was also transported from Tennessee to Chicago (twice), Philidelphia, Alabama, and all over the eastern United States before being dropped off at a jail and left for over a week, not knowing when she would be picked up or where she would be transported to next on her way to Florida. At one point on this trip, she was within 3 hours of where she needed to be in Florida, and the van went the other way, keeping her detained a while longer.
What was really messed-up about the whole deal was that none of this time counted towards her sentence. She said the extradition team had 180 days to get her to Florida and had already invested 2 weeks in the trip.
Are there any rules/laws involving extradition? I know these are private companies and they are out for profit, but the treatment seems inhumane to me.
