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.
