Where a judgment debtor has been imprisoned on account of any misconduct enumerated in section 66 of this Act, then upon payment of the judgment debt, together with the prescribed costs, if any, or upon the request of the judgment creditor, or upon default by the judgment creditor in payment of the allowance, if any, for the subsistence of the judgment debtor, the court may make an order for his discharge, to take effect either immediately or after he has been imprisoned for such portion of the term of imprisonment ordered as the court in its discretion may think fit to appoint, and the court may also make any order respecting the expenses of his imprisonment that may be necessary and just.
