§ 95. Proceeding in case of arrest of women. Whenever a woman is
arrested and taken to a police station, to which a matron is attached,
it shall be the duty of the officer in charge of the station to cause
such matron to be summoned forthwith, and whenever, in any city in which
a police matron has been appointed, a woman is arrested and taken to a
station house to which no matron is attached, it shall be the duty of
such officer to cause such woman to be removed as soon as possible to
the nearest station house within such city to which a police matron is
attached. No such separate confinement nor any such removal of any woman
shall operate to take from any court any jurisdiction it has.
