All rules and regulations promulgated by the commission regarding the treatment of inmates confined in a local correctional facility shall be applicable to inmates confined pursuant to this section. An inmate confined in a local correctional facility pursuant to an agreement under this section shall not be deprived of any legal rights which such inmate would have had if confined in a correctional institution in the jurisdiction in which he or she was convicted.
