Many institutions require prospective students to check a box admitting to previous run-ins with the law, while others perform background checks on all [...]

How Colorado Extradition Works for Out-of-State Criminal Charges

Extradition is about where a criminal case will be handled—not whether the person is guilty. If someone is arrested in Colorado on another state’s warrant, the immediate questions are usually whether to waive extradition, whether bail is available, how long the process may take, and what can actually be challenged before the person is returned.
