1132. Power to issue warrant of commitment on default of payment
Where an order is made against any person for the payment of a sum of money, and the person is liable to be imprisoned, for a specified time, unless such sum is sooner paid, if the person does not pay the sum, together with costs, if awarded, forthwith or at the time specified in such order, the Court may issue a warrant of commitment, under the hand of the Court—
-
(a) requiring the police officer to whom the warrant is directed to take the person to the correctional facility and deliver him or her to the correctional officer; and
-
(b) requiring the correctional officer to receive the person into the correctional facility and there to imprison him or her or to imprison and commit him or her to hard labour, as the case may be, for such time as may be directed and appointed by the warrant of commitment, unless the sum adjudged to be paid, and also all costs and charges, are sooner paid.
