If a person is in custody in one state and has charges in another state, what happens after the 30 days if nobody comes to get them?

Who is supposed to 'come get them'?
I guess he has no lawyer to ask this to huh? Well, I do believe some states will allow a bond, but I do believe some will hold you until you do get picked up, and that of course, might count towards time served.

What "30 days"? Are you referring to some particular state statute that has a 30-day clock, or some particular 30-day sentence?
If a person is in custody in one state, then they can be held pending charges in that state -- and for the duration of their sentence if convicted.
If a person also has charges pending in another state, then the other state needs to act promptly upon serving notice of extradition to the first state. I think it's the same 48~72 hour requirement that applies in any other custodial situation -- after that 2~3 day period, you would need to be arraigned (charged locally) and/or have a bail hearing locally, or be released.
