        pay over such board payments to the county treasurer.
        (d)  Disbursements from inmate accounts.--By order of the

            (5)  Payment either in full or ratably of the inmate's

            (6)  The balance, if any, to the inmate upon discharge.
        (e)  Intercounty custody.--The court may by order authorize
     the chief administrator of a county correctional institution to
     which an inmate is committed to arrange with the chief
     administrator of another county correctional institution for the
     employment of the prisoner in the other's county and while so
     employed to be in the other's custody but in other respects to
     be and continue subject to the commitment.
