for prosecution on any other charge or charges arising out of the
same transaction. Except for his attendance at court and while being
transported to or from any place at which his presence may be re-
quired, the prisoner shall be held, in a suitable jail or other facility
regularly used for persons awaiting prosecution.
(e) At the earliest practicable time consonant with the purposes
of this agreement, the prisoner shall be returned to the sending
state.
(f) During the continuance of temporary custody or while the
prisoner is otherwise being made available for trial as required, by
this agreement, time being served on the sentence shall continue to
run but good time shall be earned by the prisoner only if, and to the
extent that, the law and practice of the jurisdiction which imposed
the sentence may allow.
(g) For all purposes other than that for which temporary custody
as provided in this agreement is exercised, the prisoner shall be
deemed to remain in the custody of and subject to the jurisdiction of
the sending state and any escape from temporary custody may be
dealt with in the same manner as an escape from the original place
of imprisonment or in any other manner permitted by law.
(h) From the time that a party state receives custody of a prisoner
pursuant to this agreement until such prisoner is returned to the
territory and custody of the sending state, the state in which the one
or more untried indictments, informations or complaints are pending
or in which trial is being had shall be responsible for the prisoner
and shall also pay all costs of transporting, caring for, keeping and
returning the prisoner. The provisions of this paragraph shall govern
unless the states concerned shall have entered into a supplementary
agreement providing for a different allocation of costs and responsi-
bilities as between or among themselves. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to alter or affect any internal relationship among
the departments, agencies and officers of and in the government of a
party state, or between a party state and its subdivisions, as to the
payment of costs, or responsibilities therefor.

by this agreement, shall apply to any person who is adjudged to be
mentally ill.
