§ 99-21-3. Bail.
 

If it shall appear to the conservator of the peace before whom the fugitive shall be brought, that there is reasonable cause to believe that the complaint is true, he shall, if the prisoner would be entitled to bail if the offense had been committed in this state, require him to furnish bail to appear before the circuit court of the county at its next term, and from day to day and term to term until discharged by law. If such person do not give bail with sufficient sureties as required, he shall be committed to jail until he give such bail, or until he be discharged as hereinafter provided. If such person would not be bailable if the offense charged had been committed in this state, he shall be committed to jail to remain until discharged as provided by law.
