§ 79. Leasing of state institutions to cities or counties for the
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.

* 2. The commissioner is hereby authorized and empowered to lease to a
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.
