631.461 ALLOWING SENTENCE OF OFFENDER TO A WORKHOUSE OR
CORRECTIONAL OR WORK FARM.
When a sentence for an offense includes imprisonment in a county jail, the court may
sentence the offender to imprisonment in a workhouse or correctional or work farm if there is
one in the county where the offender is tried or where the offense was committed. If not, the
court may sentence the offender to imprisonment in a workhouse or correctional or work farm
in any county in this state. However, the county board of the county where the offender is tried
shall have some agreement for the receipt, maintenance, and confinement of inmates with the
county where the offender has been sentenced to imprisonment. The place of imprisonment
must be specified in the sentence. Inmates may be removed from one place of confinement to
another as provided by statute.
