(A) Work by prisoners. 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 property. For each day of such work, the prisoner shall be credited $50 until the fine or costs are satisfied.
(B) Directing the work of prisoners. The Police Chief, subject to the direction of the Town Board, shall direct where the work shall be performed. The head of the department in charge of the place where the work is to be performed, he himself, she herself or some person designated by him or her shall oversee the work. If a guard is necessary, then the Police Chief shall make provision therefor.
