DIRECTOR OF INSTITUTIONS

Section 54-21-25.    Authority to contract with other governmental agencies for prisoners. 

Authority to contract with other governmental agencies for prisoners.  If the director of institutions determines that suitable state facilities or services are not available for adult inmates under his control he may contract for same with the proper authorities of the United States, Canada, and any of its governmental subdivisions, another state, another agency in this state or a political subdivision of this state, or with any private or public correctional or treatment facility or agency. The director may also contract, without cost to the state, to provide services or facilities for persons held by any of the jurisdictions mentioned in this section. An inmate who is considered for transfer to another jurisdiction as herein provided, and who does not consent to the transfer, will be given notice of the pending transfer and an administrative hearing to determine the need and justification for a transfer. If a treaty is in effect between the United States and a foreign country for the transfer and exchange of offenders, the director of institutions, upon recommendation of the warden and the approval of the governor, may on behalf of the state under the terms of the treaty transfer or exchange offenders and take any action necessary for the state to participate in the treaty.
