    * § 500-o. Agreements for custody of inmates from other states. 1. The
  sheriff,  warden,  superintendent,  local  commissioner of correction or
  other person in charge of a local correctional facility may  enter  into
  an agreement with a correctional institution located in another state to
  provide  for  the  custody  in  such local correctional facility in this
  state of persons sentenced to a period of imprisonment for an offense in
  such other state to a term in excess of ninety days but no more than one
  year. Any such agreement, except one that is made by  the  city  of  New
  York,  shall  be  subject to the approval of the county legislature, the
  chief executive officer of the county and the commission.  An  agreement
  made  by  the  city  of New York shall be subject to the approval of the
  city council, the mayor and the commission.
    2. Inmates who are confined in a local correctional facility  pursuant
  to  an  agreement under this section shall be dealt with in all respects
  in the same manner as inmates  committed  to  the  custody  of  a  local
  correctional   facility  pursuant  to  paragraph  (e)  of  section  five
  hundred-a of this article. All rules and regulations promulgated by  the
  commission  regarding  the  treatment  of  inmates  confined  in a local
  correctional facility shall be applicable to inmates  confined  pursuant
  to  this  section.  An  inmate confined in a local correctional facility
  pursuant to an agreement under this section shall not be deprived of any
  legal rights  which  such  inmate  would  have  had  if  confined  in  a
  correctional  institution  in  the  jurisdiction  in which he or she was
  convicted.
    3. Nothing in this section shall be construed to  allow  persons  duly
  committed and confined to a local correctional facility in this state to
  serve such confinement in another state.
    4.  Notwithstanding  subdivision  one  of this section, the sheriff of
  Albany  county  may  enter  into  an  agreement  with   a   correctional
  institution  located  in another state to provide for the custody in the
  Albany county correctional facility of persons sentenced to a period  of
  imprisonment  in such other state to a term in excess of ninety days but
  no  more  than  two  years,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  county
  legislature, the chief executive officer and the commission.
