program to provide State grants to participating counties to renovate and construct

county correctional facilities so that county correctional services may be developed,

implemented, operated and improved. b. The Commissioner of the Department of Corrections is authorized to provide financial

assistance, in the form of State grants, to participating counties in order to upgrade

assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact, or an attempt to commit any of these

offenses shall be eligible for placement in any county correctional facility under

this act. c. With the agreement of the county, prisoners sentenced to terms which may result

in an actual period of confinement in excess of 24 months may be housed in county

facilities on a pre-release basis for the last 6 to 9 months of their sentences in
