SNELL, Justice.

This is an appeal by Twynette Cain, doing business as Superbondsman, from the district court's decision forfeiting the appeal bond posted for defendant, Roger Hinton. Cain argues the county jail's policy with regard to the recommitment of prisoners was illegal and frustrated her attempt to surrender defendant in a timely manner. We agree. The decision of the district court is reversed. We remand for appropriate proceedings.
