offense and is sentenced to jail as a condition of conditional discharge or as a

condition of probation, the Department of Corrections shall pay for the

the jail, take custody of the prisoner and hold that person in a state prison facility for

the purpose of treating the following medical conditions:

(a) Chronic heart and lung conditions;

(b) Psychiatric conditions;
