the extradition papers, but the California Supreme Court ordered a local court to investigate the
conditions of the Arkansas prison system to determine whether they violated the Cruel and Unusual
Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

unlawfully detained. This writ may be issued by a trial court of general jurisdiction or by an appellate
court.

3)  First, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of the nation's court structure. This requires knowing where the criminal trial in question took place.

Next, to follow a criminal case, it is essential to have an understanding of how cases are decided and what possible decisions can be reached.

4)  Answer: Interstate extradition is based on Article IV, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. International extradition is
