Sec. 24-14. Same — Taking out prisoners to labor.

The foreman of the work force shall take out such prisoners as
may from time to time be delivered to him by the city sergeant
and shall require them to perform such labor as may previously
have been designated by the city manager. The foreman shall
treat such prisoners humanely, using at the same time, however,
all such measures as may be necessary to secure diligent service
on the part of the prisoners and to prevent their escape. (Code
1959, § 24-14.)
