Approved March 11, 1922.
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion twenty-eight hundred and seventy-two of the Code of Virginia
be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 2872. When court may adopt jail of another county or
city.—When a county or city is without a sufficient jail, or its jail is
to be removed, rebuilt, or repaired, the court thereof may adopt as its
jail the jail of another county or city, until it can obtain a sufficient
jail. All persons committed or to be committed to the jail of the
first mentioned county or city, at or after such adoption, and before a
sufficient jail be so obtained, shall be conveyed to the jail so adopted.
In any case should it become necessary or expedient for the safe-
keeping of any prisoner, or for other good cause, a court or the
judge thereof in vacation, may commit such prisoner to a jail other
than that located in his county or city; and the sheriff or sergeant
in making his account for the board of such prisoner or prisoners
as provided in section thirty-five hundred and ten of the Code, as
amended, shall include such prisoner or prisoners in such account,
as if such prisoner or prisoners had actually been committed from
his county or city, and the judge of the circuit, corporation or hust-
ings court of the county or city in which such prisoner or prisoners
were committed as aforesaid, shall certify such account to the auditor
of public accounts for payment out of the treasury, as provided in
section forty-nine hundred and sixty-one of the Code; provided, how-
ever, that the authorities of the county or city from w hich the prisoner
is sent shall be responsible for any damage done by him to the jail
of the county or city in which such prisoner may be confined.
