. (a) The director may enter into a contract, with the approval
of the Director of General Services, with any county of the state,
upon the request of the board of supervisors thereof, wherein the
Director of Corrections agrees to furnish confinement, care,
treatment, and employment of county prisoners. The county shall
reimburse the state for the cost of such services, such cost to be
determined by the Director of Finance. Each county auditor shall
include in his state settlement report rendered to the Controller in
the months of January and June the amounts due under any contract
authorized by this section, and the county treasurer, at the time of
settlement with the state in such months, shall pay to the State
Treasurer upon order of the Controller, the amounts found to be due.
(b) The Department of Corrections shall accept such county
prisoner if it believes that the prisoner can be materially benefited
by such confinement, care, treatment, and employment, and if
adequate facilities to provide such care are available. No such
person shall be transported to any facility under the jurisdiction of
the Department of Corrections until the director has notified the
referring court of the place to which said person is to be
transmitted and the time at which he can be received.
(c) The sheriff of the county in which such an order is made
placing a misdemeanant in a jail camp pursuant to this chapter, or
any other peace officer designated by the court, shall execute an
order placing such county prisoner in the jail camp or returning him
therefrom to the court. The expense of such sheriff or peace officer
incurred in executing such order is a charge upon the county in which
the court is situated.
