and paid out of the State Treasury, unless there was no jail in the county or it

was rendered insecure by the failure of the fiscal court to keep it in the

requisite condition, in which case it shall be paid in accordance with

paragraph (b) of this subsection. The Circuit Judge, in making the allowance,

shall state in the order out of which fund it shall be paid. The order of the

judge directing the transfer shall be conclusive evidence that the transfer was

proper and to the right jail, and shall be a justification to the receiving jail's

jailer for holding any such prisoner in any action against him or her for false

imprisonment.

because the jail was rendered insecure by the failure of the fiscal court to keep

it in the requisite condition, the cost of lodging the prisoners in the receiving

jail shall be borne by the fiscal court of the county from which the transfer

was made at a rate set by agreement between the two (2) fiscal courts

involved. If the fiscal courts are unable to reach an agreement, the Circuit

Judge who ordered the transfer shall establish the rate based on prisoner and

facility cost data provided by the receiving jail's jailer. The order of transfer

shall state the reasons of the transfer.
