The Grand Jury submitted the TO
lowing jail report:
We found the Jail in good orde
and apparently well kept, and in a
good state and condition as the Gil
cumstances of the building wi
permit; heard no complaint of trea
ment, diet or accommodations of tn
prisoners, only such as grow out @
the nature and circumstances of th
, building itself. The building Is fs
from being what a prison should b
1t is radically defective, and cannt
be repaired or improved to make
!. what it should be without great el
$ pense, probably equal to the expen:
of new structure. In our opinio
!, new Jail should be built. We four
that the rules prescribed for tt
regulation and keeping of jails ha'
been faithfully kept and observe
and did not find that any Of the pr
n visions of the Act for the regulation
: of county jails have been violated.
