570.56 Expense of extradition.
The expenses of extradition must be borne by the county from which the
application for a requisition comes or, where the application is made by
the attorney general, by the county in which the offense was committed.
In the case of extradition of a person who has been convicted of a crime
in this state and has escaped from a state prison or reformatory, the
expense of extradition shall be borne by the department of corrections
and community supervision. Where a person has broken the terms of his or
her parole from a state prison or reformatory, the expense of
extradition shall be borne by the state department of corrections and
community supervision. Where a person has broken the terms of his or her
bail or probation, the expense of extradition shall be borne by the
county. Where a person has been convicted but not yet confined to a
prison, or has been sentenced for a felony to a county jail or
penitentiary and escapes, the expenses of extradition shall be charged
to the county from whose custody the escape is effected. Nothing in this
section shall preclude a county or the department of corrections and
community supervision, as the case may be, from collecting the expenses
involved in extradition from the person who was extradited.
