§ 53.1-79. Jails for United States prisoners; payment by United States
The sheriff of any county or city or jail superintendent of any regional jail
may receive into his jail any person committed thereto under the authority of
the United States, and keep him safely according to the warrant or precept of
commitment, until he shall be discharged under the laws of the United States.
But no person arrested on civil process shall, under this section, be
committed to any jail other than that of the county or city within which such
person resides or is found.
The county or city or regional jail authority or, if none, the body
responsible for the fiscal management of the regional jail shall be paid by
the United States for the support of any such prisoner.
