HRS §832-16
When a judge can set bail for a fugitive
A judge in Hawaii can let a person arrested here out on bail while they wait to be sent back to another state, unless the crime there could mean death or life in prison. The bail bond must promise the person will show up in court and turn themselves in when the governor's warrant arrives.
