Upon the conviction of any criminal offense for which the court orders the confinement of a person in the County Jail or other suitable place of confinement either as a final sentence or as a condition of any grant of probation, and allows the person so sentenced to continue in his regular employment by serving the sentence on weekends or similar periods during the week other than his regular workdays and, by virtue of such schedule of serving the sentence, the prisoner is ineligible for work furlough under Section 1208 of the Penal Code of the State, the Court Clerk may collect from the prisoner a fee to defray the cost of administering the confinement, which fee shall be collected upon the completion of each weekly period of confinement until the entire sentence has been served.

The fees collected shall be deposited in the County Treasury.
