1. That § 53-135.1 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 53-135.1. The Director shall have the power to transfer any jail
inmate whose sentence is final from a jail to any State or city farm, State
industrial school or convict road camp; provided that any jail inmate
whose sentences are final and excluding fines and costs total more than

maintenance of the convict road force, State prison farm, State industrial
schools, or State penitentiary, as provided by law.
