There is most likely an extradition agreement between Mississippi and Ohio as to the time limits and constraints in proceeding with the process. I am sure that it must be a reasonable amount of time and there must be due diligence in the processing request. Court congestion - either from the Mississippi courts or to the Ohio courts - cold also have an effect on the matter. Was your Mother appointed an attorney in this matter for the process? That could be an option for her here and I would check in to it. You should also contact the department of corrections in both Mississippi and Ohio to check on the time constraints. Good luck.
