614 - Care and support of civil prisoner.

§  614.  Care  and  support of civil prisoner.   A person arrested, by  virtue of an order of arrest, in an action or special proceeding brought  in a court of record; or of an execution issued upon a judgment rendered  in a court of record; or surrendered in exoneration of his bail; must be  safely kept in custody, in the manner prescribed by law, and, except  as  herein  otherwise  provided,  at his own expense, until he satisfies the  judgment rendered against him, or is discharged according to law. In any  county, if a prisoner, actually confined in jail, makes oath before  the  sheriff,  jailer, or deputy-jailer, that he is unable to support himself  during his imprisonment, his support is a county charge.
