Any person convicted of a violation of a city ordinance and sentenced to the payment of a fine may be imprisoned for the non-payment of such fine. Such persons may be imprisoned in either the jail, or in the county jail or such other place of incarceration with which the City Council has made the necessary arrangements for such transfer of prisoners. When so, incarcerated prisoners shall be allowed to work out their fine at the rate provided by statute.
