a reimbursement fee is given credit toward the payment of a
reimbursement fee for each day of confinement that the
offender is in custody, at the rate specified in the court's

the offender has been detained as the result of an arrest
warrant issued pursuant to this section.__An offender is
responsible for paying any reimbursement fee remaining after
receiving credit for confinement and detention.__A default on
the remaining reimbursement fee is also governed by this
