SAME WHEN PAID BY COUNTY OR CITY; SAME WHEN BY COMPENSATION BOARD (§ 53.1-94)

The circuit court, before certifying any allowance pursuant to § 53.1-93, shall
inquire into the condition of the jail. If it appears that a guard was necessary
because of the insecurity of the jail, it shall order the allowance to be
certified to the governing body of the county or city. If otherwise, and the
guard was necessary, the allowance shall be paid out of the budget of the
sheriff as approved by the Compensation Board.
