Those expenses must be paid in amounts as provided by law for state officials, except that the mileage paid must be that regularly paid to the sheriff and the sheriff's deputies. If the person to be returned is a prisoner of a state facility or is ordered returned by a district court judge, the mileage and expenses must be paid by the state.
