(1) Any city in the state having an adequate jail for the use of such jail upon such terms as the board of county commissioners and the governing body of such city may agree; or
(2) any county in the state having an adequate jail for the use of such jail upon such terms as the board of county commissioners and the receiving county's board of county commissioners may agree.
