Article 4-B - Alternate Correctional Facilities for the City of New York
89-C - Use of Alternate Correctional Facilities.

  89-c.  Use  of  alternate  correctional  facilities.  1.  Alternate
  correctional  facilities  shall   serve   only   to   supplement   local
  correctional  facilities  within  the  city  of New York. In considering
  whether to assign  an  eligible  inmate  to  an  alternate  correctional
  facility or to transfer such inmate from such facility, preference shall
  be  given  to  available space suitable for housing sentenced inmates at
  local correctional facilities within the city of New York.
2. Consistent with the provisions of this article and subject  to  the
  applicable rules and regulations for operation of alternate correctional
  facilities  and the provisions of the operation agreement, assignment of
  inmates to alternate correctional facilities shall be  made  jointly  by
  the commissioner and the commissioner of the New York city department of
  correction.  In making such assignments, consideration shall be given to
  inmates who have a greater period of time  remaining  to  be  served  on
  their  sentences,  taking into account any applicable jail time and good
  behavior time. No  inmate  who  is  eligible  for  educational  services
  pursuant  to subdivision seven of section three thousand two hundred two
  of the education law and who chooses to avail himself of  such  services
  shall be assigned to an alternate correctional facility.
3.  Inmates  assigned  to  alternate  correctional facilities shall be
  returned to a local correctional facility within the city of New York at
  any such time as the commissioner determines:
(a) that the assignment was not in accordance with this article, or
(b) that the confinement of an inmate  in  an  alternate  correctional
  facility  is  no  longer  suitable  because it potentially endangers the
  safety, security or order of the facility.
4. Any inmate who is eligible for  educational  services  pursuant  to
  subdivision  seven  of  section  three  thousand  two hundred two of the
  education  law  shall  also  be  returned  to  a  New  York  city  local
  correctional facility if he chooses to avail himself of such services.
5.  Inmates  assigned  to  alternate  correctional facilities shall be
  returned to a New York city correctional facility within the city of New
  York no later than seven  days  prior  to  their  scheduled  release  or
  discharge from incarceration.
6.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of  law,  no inmates from
  jurisdictions other than the city of New York shall  be  housed  at  any
  time in an alternate correctional facility.
