(A) If, after conviction, a judgment of imprisonment is entered, then a copy thereof, certified by the Clerk, shall be delivered to the Police Chief, the County Sheriff or other appropriate police officer. Such copy shall be sufficient warrant for execution of the sentence.
(B) All prisoners confined to jail on conviction or on a plea of guilty may be compelled, if their health permits, to work on the public streets, avenues, alleys, parks, buildings or other public premises or properties. For each day of such work, the prisoner shall be credited for serving one day of imprisonment under his or her sentence.
(C) The Police Chief, subject to the direction of the governing body, shall direct where such work shall be performed. The head of the department in charge of the place where the work is to be performed, himself or herself, or by some person designated by him or her, shall oversee the work. If a guard is necessary, then the Police Chief shall make provision therefor.
