Abstract
The Consensus of opinion in law is that a state does not have to surrender an alleged criminal to a state, because of one principle that a state a legal entity within it's borders. such absence and obligation and the desire that such criminal from other state have caused a web of extradition agreement to evolve. when no extradition agreement is in place, a state may still request the expulsion of an individual pursuant to the state's domestic law. This can also be demanded through the immigration laws of the state. The paper elucidate on the right of transfer of prisoner with an advocacy of how extradition of prisoner can help the administration of the criminal particularly in the area of human rights of instance prisoner under long period of awaiting trial and the overall welfare of prisoners during the period of incarceration.
