>>Jurisdiction for prosecution - I might be wrong (not a lawyer) but would assume for Federal laws that it would be federal jurisdiction and when a person has broken a Federal law and been captured, they are turned over to the feds for prosecution or whatever happens next.<<

That's true, unless a detainee is charged with violating state laws also. Then the Feds and the State have to cooperate to determine where the person will be held, which charges take precedence, etc.
