8-403. SAME — FINDINGS OF PARTY STATES; PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT.

   ARTICLE I

THE PARTY STATES FIND THAT CHARGES OUTSTANDING AGAINST A PRISONER,
DETAINERS BASED ON UNTRIED INDICTMENTS, INFORMATIONS, OR COMPLAINTS,
AND DIFFICULTIES IN SECURING SPEEDY TRIAL OF PERSONS ALREADY
INCARCERATED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS, PRODUCE UNCERTAINTIES WHICH
OBSTRUCT PROGRAMS OF PRISONER TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS THE POLICY OF THE PARTY STATES AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS
AGREEMENT TO ENCOURAGE THE EXPEDITIOUS AND ORDERLY DISPOSITION OF
SUCH CHARGES AND DETERMINATION OF THE PROPER STATUS OF ANY AND ALL
DETAINERS BASED ON UNTRIED INDICTMENTS, INFORMATIONS, OR COMPLAINTS.
THE PARTY STATES ALSO FIND THAT PROCEEDINGS WITH REFERENCE TO SUCH
CHARGES AND DETAINERS, WHEN EMANATING FROM ANOTHER JURISDICTION,
CANNOT PROPERLY BE HAD IN THE ABSENCE OF COOPERATIVE PROCEDURES. IT IS
THE FURTHER PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE SUCH COOPERATIVE
PROCEDURES.
