/ have been unfortunate enough to have
been incarcerated in the Wheeling Jail
and Eeing stranger amongst strangers
almost my only means Of communicating
with the outer world is through my vile,
and the circumstances Of the case would
seem TO warrant her admission to see me
at all reasonable times and under reasona.
BILE restrictions. The Sheriff of the coun,
ty, Mr.. Brown, kindly directed that she
should be allowed to visit me daily, but
the head jailor Il am ignorant Of his name)
refuses her admittance under any circum.
stances, alleging, I understand, that it is
contrary to his rules, once in ten days
being the maximum number Of visits al.
lowed TO be received by q prisoner while
unuer his care.
Such rules and restrictions may be well
enough when one is imprisoned as a pun,
ishment for crime, but where o prisoner
is detained without even tho form Of q
preliminary examination and is presum'
edP legally, to DO innocent are they not a
hardship? Thelaw allows every prisoner
under any circumstances every liberty
consistent with his safe custody. This
rule Is the more strange from the fact
that the admission Of visitors entails no
additional labor on the jailor himself, his
assistant (who isuniformly obliging) being
the only person Inconvenience thereby,
My only recourse Is to lay the facts be-
fore your readers hoping that public opin'
ion will be strong enough to ameliorate
this evil as regards future prisoners
