Written waiver of extradition proceedings A person arrested in the Canal Zone charged with having committed a crime in another State or alleged to have escaped from confinement, or broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole may waive the issuance and service of the warrant provided for by sections 5027 and 5028 of this title and all other procedure incidental to extradition proceedings, by executing or subscribing in the presence of the judge of the district court a writing which states that he consents to return to the demanding State; but if before the waiver is executed or subscribed by the person it shall be the duty of the judge to inform the person of his rights to the issuance and service of a warrant of extradition and to obtain a writ of habeas corpus as provided for by section 5030 of this title. If and when the consent has been duly executed it shall forthwith be forwarded to the office of the Governor of the Canal Zone and filed therein. The judge shall direct the officer having the person in custody to deliver forthwith the person to the duly accredited agent or agents of the demanding State, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the agent or agents a copy of the consent; but this section does not limit the rights of the accused person to return voluntarily and without formality to the demanding State, and this waiver procedure is not an exclusive procedure and does not limit the powers, rights or duties of the officers of the demanding State or of the Canal Zone.

No right of asylum; no immunity from other criminal prosecutions After a person has been brought back to the Canal Zone by, or after waiver of extradition proceedings, he may be tried in the Canal Zone for other crimes which he may be charged with having committed here as well as that specified in the requisition for his extradition. § 5049.
