• (a) Each party state may make one or more contracts with any one or more of the other
  party states for the confinement of inmates on behalf of a sending state in institutions
  situated within receiving states. Any such contract shall provide for: (1) Its duration. (2) Payments to be made to the receiving state by the sending state for inmate maintenance,
  extraordinary medical and dental expenses, and any participation in or receipt by
  inmates of rehabilitative or correctional services, facilities, programs or treatment
  not reasonably included as part of normal maintenance. (3) Participation in programs of inmate employment, if any; the disposition or crediting
  of any payments received by inmates on account thereof; and the crediting of proceeds
  from or disposal of any products resulting therefrom. (4) Delivery and retaking of inmates. (5) Such other matters as may be necessary and appropriate to fix the obligations, responsibilities
  and rights of the sending and receiving states. (b) Subject to legislative approval by the states concerned and prior to the construction
  or completion of construction of any institution or addition thereto by a party state,
  any other party state or states may contract therewith for the enlargement of the
  planned capacity of the institution or addition thereto, or for the inclusion therein
  of particular equipment or structures, and for the reservation of a specific per centum
  of the capacity of the institution to be kept available for use by inmates of the
  sending state or states so contracting. Any sending state so contracting may, to
  the extent that monies are legally available therefor, pay to the receiving state,
  a reasonable sum as consideration for such enlargement of capacity, or provision of
  equipment or structures, and reservation of capacity. Such payment may be in a lump
  sum or in installments as provided in the contract. (c) The terms and provisions of this compact shall be a part of any contract entered into
  by the authority of or pursuant thereto, and nothing in any such contract shall be
  inconsistent therewith. (Added 1961, No. 213, § 2, eff. July 11, 1961.)
