may be imprisoned until the fine is paid or satisfied at the rate
of $5 per day of imprisonment; provided, further, however, that no
person shall be imprisoned under the first proviso hereof for a longer
period than six months.
Unless otherwise expressly provided, the penalty
provisions of this Code shall apply to all amendments, including any
additions to or deletions from any article or portion thereof.
A.
Any person arrested for a violation of any provision

by law.
B.
Any person detained for violation of a City ordinance
who does not supply bail and against whom a fine is levied upon conviction
shall be allowed a credit of $2 for each day of incarceration prior
