1. At any time after the conviction of a prisoner, and after the financial status of the prisoner has been determined or the prisoner has refused or failed to complete and sign the form required by NRS 211.242, the sheriff of the county, the administrator of the department of detention of an incorporated city, the person appointed to administer a city jail or the administrator of an alternative program may issue a written demand to the prisoner for reimbursement, pursuant to NRS 211.2415, of the expenses incurred by the county or city for the prisoner’s maintenance and support during his or her period of imprisonment or assignment to an alternative program.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the prisoner shall pay the total amount due when the written demand is issued. The prisoner may arrange to make payments on a monthly basis. If such arrangements are made, the prisoner must be provided with a monthly billing statement which specifies the date on which his or her next payment is due.
3. A court may order a prisoner to perform supervised community service to satisfy the written demand for reimbursement. Each hour of community service performed by the prisoner reduces the amount the prisoner owes by $8. If the prisoner does not satisfy the written demand for reimbursement within the time set by the court, the district attorney for a county or the city attorney for an incorporated city may file a civil action pursuant to NRS 211.245.
