(735 ILCS 5/10-137) (from Ch. 110, par. 10-137)
Sec. 10-137.
Contempt - Discharge.
Any person imprisoned for any contempt
of court for the
non-performance of any order or judgment for the payment of money, is
entitled to relief by habeas corpus, and if it appears, on full
examination of such person and such witnesses, and other evidence as may
be adduced, that he or she is unable to comply with such order or judgment, or
to endure the confinement, and that all persons interested in the order
or judgment have had reasonable notice of the time and place of trial,
the court may discharge him or her from imprisonment, but no such
discharge shall operate to release the lien of such order or judgment,
but the same may be enforced against the property of such person as other
orders and judgments are enforced in civil cases.
