§ 176.065. Rate of additional imprisonment in default of administrative assessment, fine or forfeiture
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, when a person is sentenced to both
fine and imprisonment, or to pay a forfeiture in addition to imprisonment, the court
may, pursuant to NRS 62B.420 or 176.064 , order that the person be confined in the state prison, the city or county jail or
a detention facility, whichever is designated in the person's sentence of imprisonment,
for an additional period of 1 day for each $150 of the amount until the administrative
