Support of prisoners

Every person committed to jail may furnish that person's own support, under such precautions as the jailer may deem proper to adopt for the purpose of guarding against escapes and to prevent the importation of intoxicants or narcotics. If such support is not furnished by the prisoner, it shall be furnished by the jailer. Code 1858, §5418; Shan., § 7429; mod. Code 1932, § 12038; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 41-1108.
