Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 9.

When there is no jail or other penal institution in a county,
or the jail or other penal institution of the county is insufficient, the
sheriff may commit any person in his custody, either on civil or criminal
process, to the nearest sufficient jail of another county, and the warden
of the jail of such county shall receive and confine such prisoner, until
removed by order of the court having jurisdiction of the offense, or discharged
by due course of law.
