1 The court may im­pose a cus­todi­al sen­tence in­stead of a mon­et­ary pen­alty if:

a cus­todi­al sen­tence ap­pears ap­pro­pri­ate in or­der to pre­vent the of­fend­er from com­mit­ting fur­ther felon­ies or mis­de­mean­ours; or
b.
it is an­ti­cip­ated that it will not be pos­sible to en­force a mon­et­ary pen­alty.
