you can voluntarily wave estradition and go. If you refuse to wave they will have a hearing to see if there is enough evidence that you committed the offense for which you are wanted. If there is enough evidence they will make you go.

If there is a state warrant for you in another state, you face an extradition hearing. Generally, the court will approve the order unless there is some constitutional reason for not sending you back. Usually it has to be something like you won't get a fair trial back in your home state or the warrant is void on its face because it was sworn out by someone who is not authorized to do so. Since neither condition is likely true, the second state will likely extradite you. If it were a federal warrant, there would not even be an extradition hearing, just an arraignment.

Well, you can fight it, but if you lose, you go.
States will extradite people from one to another because they are all a part of the same COUNTRY.
If you fight, there will be a hearing where you will try and tell why it is not right for you to go back to the state (a lawyer will be able to inform you of this strategy), or why you have bettered yourself, or even served your punishment in other ways. But I will tell you now - most lose the fight of extradition from one state to another.
You shouldn't have run. . .

what did you do....probably a felony...you state in your question: "state wants to extradite" they don't waste time with mickey mouse charges; so you can expect an additional charge of flight to avoid prosecution....try these 5 words: " you honor, i waive extradition."
