2A:20-9. Remand of debtor to prison on concealment of property
If the creditor at whose suit the debtor is imprisoned or was arrested, or any other creditor, shall in an action brought in a summary manner prove to the satisfaction of the court that the debtor has not fully delivered up to the use of his creditors all of his property, real or personal, or that he has concealed or kept back any part of his property or suffered a judgment to be entered against himself, or made any conveyance, deed, mortgage, sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of his property, real or personal, with intent to defraud his creditors, the court shall remand him to prison, there to remain in close confinement until discharged by due course of law.

2A:20-10. Discharge as immunity from imprisonment

If the court fails or refuses, for any reason, to discharge a person as an insolvent debtor or remands a person to prison, and such person surrenders himself immediately to the sheriff, warden or keeper of the jail of the county, he may make out and deliver to the sheriff, warden or keeper a new inventory and new bond as provided by section 2A:20-2 of this title. Thereupon he shall be discharged from arrest or custody pursuant to sections 2A:20-2 and 2A:20-3 of this title, provided he brings a new action for his discharge, in which action the same proceedings shall be had for that purpose, as fully and effectually as if no previous action had been brought.
