I am very sorry to hear that your circumstances are such that you would rather be in jail than living in your current conditions. As you have experienced, you are not going to be extradited for a misdemeanor. It's not worth the government's time and money. I imagine you might already have done so, but seek charitable help and of course a homeless shelter until you can get yourself back on your feet. Good luck.

Are you just looking for free transportation? Extradition seems a pretty extreme thing to seek just for a ride to CA. Most states don't extradite for misdemeanors because it is too expensive.

California doesn't extradite for misdemeanors. Most states don't. Their thinking is that the crimes aren't serious, and it would cost too much money to haul you back here,prosecute you and (most likely) put you on probation.
