However, the officer or person is chargeable with the expense of keeping the prisoner.
(2)The officer or agent of a requisitioning state to whom a prisoner may have been delivered following extradition proceedings in another state or to whom a prisoner may have been delivered after waiving extradition in the other state and who is passing through this state with a prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning the prisoner to the requisitioning state may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which the officer or agent may pass.
