Every person committed to the city jail and other places provided by the city for the incarceration of offenders of the provisions of this code shall be required to work for the city at such labor as his or her strength permits within or without such prison and other places provided for the incarceration of such offenders. Such labor shall not exceed ten (10) hours each working day and, for such work, the person employed shall be credited with such amount as provided by statute towards the reduction of any fine or costs. Such work shall continue until such fines or costs shall have been fully paid, either by such work or by money payments. Money payments of such fines or costs may be made in an amount equal to the original fine or cost or both, less any amount due the person for such labor performed as herein provided. Such labor shall be utilized by the various departments of the city wherever reasonable by request to and under the supervision of the chief of police or such other person as the city council by resolution may appoint for administering such work.
