A. Any person who has been convicted of a nonviolent felony

2. A condition of a suspended sentence.

B. In addition to incarceration, the court may impose any fine,

cost assessment, or other punishment provision allowed by law;

so order, the Department of Corrections shall reimburse the county

for the cost of feeding and care of the person during such periods

of incarceration.

section shall not be considered to be in the custody of the

Department of Corrections or an inmate of the Department. The

person shall be deemed to be in the custody of the county.

to the provisions of this section in conjunction with a suspended

sentence, the court shall have the authority to revoke any unserved
