Returned rendition files, 1960-

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122506007

Renditions are created under the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act. In Massachusetts, where this act is in force as MGLA c 276, ss 11-20R, the law authorizes the governor, upon application by the attorney general or district attorney, to issue a rendition on another state, demanding return of a fugitive to Massachusetts. Returned rendition files are created when fugitives are successfully extradited and returned to Massachusetts for prosecution. The Office of the Secretary of State is responsible for maintaining the returned rendition signed by the fugitive, and completed paperwork; currently and more specifically, this responsiblity is carried out by the Public Records Division.
