§ 135.170. Jailing of Defendants.

Latest version.

If, in the opinion of the Municipal Judge, the City has no suitable and safe place of confinement, the Municipal Judge may commit a defendant who is to be confined to the County Jail, and it shall be the duty of the Sheriff, if space for the prisoner is available in the County Jail, upon receipt of a Warrant of Commitment from the Judge to receive and safely keep such prisoner until discharged by due process of law. The City shall pay the board of such prisoner at the same rate as may now or hereafter be allowed to such Sheriff for the keeping of such prisoner in his/her custody. The same shall be taxed as cost. No person shall be placed in confinement for failure to pay a fine or court costs unless such non-payment violates terms of probation. No person shall be detained in order to coerce payment of fines and costs.
