     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.
