Copy as parenthetical citation

7-32-2202. Use of detention center in contiguous county. (1) When there is no detention center in the county or when the detention center becomes unfit or unsafe for the confinement of inmates, the district court judge may, by written appointment filed with the district court clerk, designate the detention center of a contiguous county for the confinement of the inmates of the judge's county and may at any time modify or annul the appointment.

(2) A copy of the appointment, certified by the clerk, must be served on the detention center administrator of each county involved, who must receive into the administrator's detention center all inmates authorized to be confined in the detention center pursuant to this section and who is responsible for the safekeeping of the persons committed in the same manner and to the same extent as if the administrator were the detention center administrator of the county for whose use the administrator's detention center is designated. With respect to the persons committed, the administrator is considered the detention center administrator of the county from which they were removed.

(3) When a detention center is erected in the county for the use of which the designation was made or its detention center is rendered fit and safe for the confinement of inmates, the district court judge of that county shall, by a written revocation filed with the clerk, declare that the necessity for the designation has ceased and that it is revoked.

(4) The clerk shall immediately serve a copy of the revocation upon the detention center administrator of each county involved. The detention center administrator in the designated county shall remove the inmates to the detention center from which they were removed.
