2A:168-22.  Rights of persons confined in compact institutions
    All persons who may be confined in a  "Compact Institution"  pursuant to the  provisions of the compact shall be treated in a reasonable and humane manner.   Incarceration or reincarceration in a receiving State shall not deprive any  person so incarcerated or reincarcerated of any rights which said person would  have had if incarcerated or reincarcerated in an appropriate institution of the  sending State;  nor shall any agreement to submit to incarceration or  reincarceration pursuant to the terms of the compact be construed as a waiver  of any rights which the prisoner would have had if he had been incarcerated or  reincarcerated in any appropriate institution of the sending State, except that  the hearing or hearings, if any, to which a parolee or probationer may be  entitled, (prior to incarceration or reincarceration) by the laws of the  sending State may be had before the appropriate judicial or administrative  officers of the receiving State.  In any such event, said judicial and  administrative officers shall act as agents of the sending State after  consultation with appropriate officers of the sending State.
