Party states may enter inmate-confinement contracts, but each contract must cover required terms and stay consistent with the compact.

Each party state may make one or more contracts with any one or more of the other party states for the confinement of inmates on behalf of a sending state in institutions situated within receiving states. Any such contract shall provide for: [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] 1. Duration. Its duration; [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] 2. Payments. Payments to be made to the receiving state by the sending state for inmate maintenance, extraordinary medical and dental expenses, and any participation in or receipt by inmates of rehabilitative or correctional services, facilities, programs or treatment not reasonably included as part of normal maintenance; [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] 3. Employment. Participation in programs of inmate employment, if any; the disposition or crediting of any payments received by inmates on account thereof; and the crediting of proceeds from or disposal of any products resulting therefrom; [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] 4. Inmate delivery. Delivery and retaking of inmates; and [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] 5. Other matters. Such other matters as may be necessary and appropriate to fix the obligations, responsibilities and rights of the sending and receiving states. [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] Subject to legislative approval by the states concerned and prior to the construction or completion of construction of any institution or addition thereto by a party state, any other party state or states may contract therewith for the enlargement of the planned capacity of the institution or addition thereto, or for the inclusion therein of particular equipment or structures, and for the reservation of a specific percentum of the capacity of the institution to be kept available for use by inmates of the sending state or states so contracting. Any sending state so contracting may, to the extent that moneys are legally available therefor, pay to the receiving state a reasonable sum as consideration for such enlargement of capacity, or provision of equipment or structures, and reservation of capacity. Such payment may be in a lump sum or in installments as provided in the contract. [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).] The terms and provisions of this compact shall be a part of any contract entered into by the authority of or pursuant thereto, and nothing in any such contract shall be inconsistent therewith. [PL 1983, c. 459, §6 (NEW).]
