17-22-10. Prisoners under civil process.
Whenever a person is committed upon process in a civil action or proceeding, except
when the state is a party thereto, the sheriff is not bound to receive such person unless security is
given on the part of the party at whose instance the process is issued, by deposit of money, to
meet the expenses of necessary food, clothing and bedding for him, or to detain such person any
longer than the expenses are provided for. This section does not apply to cases where a party is
committed as a punishment for disobedience to the mandates, process, writs or orders of court.
