  confinement of prisoners. 1. The commissioner is hereby  authorized  and
  empowered to lease to any city or county, upon such terms and conditions
  as  he  may  deem appropriate, all or any part of any state correctional
  institution or facility under his jurisdiction, to be used as an adjunct
  to a jail, penitentiary or correctional  institution  of  such  city  or
  county,   for  the  confinement  of  persons  sentenced  to  such  jail,
  penitentiary, or correctional institution. Such lease  may  provide  for
  the  commissioner to have the superintendence, management and control of
  the state correctional institution or facility, or part  thereof,  which
  is  the subject of such lease. Such lease shall provide for such city or
  county to pay to  the  state  the  actual  per  capita  daily  cost,  as
  certified to the appropriate local official by the commissioner, for the
  care  of such persons for each day of confinement, but, in any case, the
  reimbursement rate shall not exceed five dollars per day per capita.

  city having a population of one million  or  more,  on  such  terms  and
  conditions  as  he  may  deem  appropriate, all or any part of the state
  correctional facility under the department's jurisdiction at Ossining in
  Westchester county, to  be  used  as  an  adjunct  to  any  correctional
  institution  of such city used for the detention of persons charged with
  commission of a crime and committed to detention pending disposition  of
  such  charge,  for the detention of such persons. Such lease may provide
  for the commissioner to have the superintendence, management and control
  of the state correctional facility or part thereof which is the  subject
  of  such  lease.  This  subdivision shall not limit the authority of the
  commissioner of general  services  provided  in  chapter  seven  hundred
  twenty-five  of  the laws of nineteen hundred seventy, to convey certain
  lands described in such chapter to the county of Westchester.
