(a) Any unit of local government may establish, maintain and operate adult community correctional facilities and programs deemed necessary to serve its own needs and may enter into contracts or agreements with a corrections board for the placement of offenders, parolees and inmates in its adult community correctional facility or program.

(b) The unit of local government shall establish procedures for screening offenders, parolees and inmates who are to be placed in its adult community correctional facility or program. The screening shall take into account the risk the offender, parolee or inmate may present to himself and others as well as the aptitude, attitude and social and occupational skills of the offender, parolee or inmate.

(c) The unit of local government has the authority to accept, reject or reject after acceptance the placement of any offender, parolee or inmate in its adult community correctional facility or program pursuant to any contract or agreement with a corrections board. If an offender, parolee or inmate is rejected by the unit of local government after initial acceptance, the offender, parolee or inmate shall remain in the custody of the unit of local government for a reasonable period of time pending receipt of appropriate orders for transfer of the offender, parolee or inmate.
