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