If, at the fugitive's appearance, it appears that the person held is the person charged with having committed the crime alleged or has escaped confinement or broken the terms of the person's bail, probation, or parole and, except in cases arising under section 818.15, that the fugitive has fled from justice, the judge or magistrate before whom the fugitive is taken must, by warrant reciting the accusation, commit the fugitive to jail. Such commitment shall occur unless the accused give bail as provided in section 818.14 or is otherwise legally discharged. When the accused is confined pursuant to this section, said confinement shall be for the time specified in the warrant, but not exceeding fifteen days, as will enable the arrest of the fugitive to be made under a warrant issued by the authorities of the state having jurisdiction of the crime. If a writ of habeas corpus is applied for, the time established in this section shall be extended until such writ is disposed of.
