(20 ILCS 1805/77) (from Ch. 129, par. 220.77)
Sec. 77. Whenever the sentence of a general or special courts-martial includes a fine and such sentence has been approved by the officer ordering such court, The Adjutant General shall issue a warrant for the collection of such fines, directed to the sheriff of the county wherein the person against whom such fine is imposed resides, and the sheriff shall collect such fine in the same manner as the sheriff is authorized to collect on judgments for the payment of money in civil actions, and the sheriff shall make return within 20 days after receiving the same to The Adjutant General. In default of the payment of such fine or if the officer executing such warrant certifies that there is no property of the defendant out of which to satisfy such warrant, The Adjutant General shall issue a warrant of commitment, directed to such sheriff, who shall forthwith arrest such delinquent, convey him or her to the common jail of such county and make return thereof to The Adjutant General.
The warrant of commitment for such default shall specify the amount in dollars of the fine, and the delinquent shall remain in the custody of the keeper or warden of such common jail one day for each five dollars of the fine unpaid.
Warrants for the collections of fines imposed by summary courts and warrants for commitment for non-payment thereof shall be issued by the officer appointing such summary court.
