Incarceration and custody of parolee who violates condition of parole; duty of Division.
1. If a parolee is incarcerated in a county jail for a violation of a condition of his parole or because his residential confinement is terminated pursuant to NRS 213.15198, the sheriff of that county shall notify the Chief. If there are no other criminal charges pending or warrants outstanding for the parolee, the Division shall take custody of the parolee within:
(a) Five working days after the inquiry held pursuant to NRS 213.1511 is conducted.
(b) Five working days after receiving notice from the sheriff if the parolee was paroled by another state and is under supervision in this State pursuant to NRS 213.215.
2. If the Division fails to take custody of a parolee within the time required by subsection 1, the Division shall reimburse the county in which the jail is situated, at a daily rate to be determined by the board of county commissioners for that county, for the cost of housing the parolee each day the parolee is incarcerated in the jail. If the Division does not certify in writing within:
(a) Five working days after the inquiry held pursuant to NRS 213.1511 is conducted; or
(b) Five working days after receiving notice from the sheriff if the parolee was paroled by another state and is under supervision in this State pursuant to NRS 213.215,
Ê that continued incarceration of the parolee is necessary, the sheriff may, if there are no other criminal charges pending or warrants outstanding for the parolee, release him from custody.
3. The provisions of this section do not apply if the Division has entered into an agreement with a county that provides otherwise.
