Extradition is the act of sending an individual to a different state or country than the one they are currently in, by request of that different state or country.  Extradition is generally requested by the court of a particular state or country in order to gain the ability to prosecute the individual.  As such, the state or country wishing to prosecute must petition the courts or the governor of the other state or country for the extradition.  From there, the petitioned state or governor may approve or deny the request for extradition. 

Refusal to extradite is generally done on the basis of perceived lack of evidence to prosecute.  Another common reason for refusal to extradite, especially when other countries are concerned, is the disbelief in, or illegality of, the penalty that the extradited person would face upon prosecution in the petitioning region.   This is often the case with the death penalty since it is such a controversial penalty. 

In cases of international extradition, the legal process is quite complicated.  Treaties do exist with some countries, making the process much easier.  Similarly, some countries are non-extradition countries, and have no policy in place that obligates them to return an alleged criminal to the U.S.
