IN, the Honorable the Board Of County Conn
missi,neTs Of LearenicoTth County, Kansas:
In pursuance of our official duties as pre-
scribed by section 2, chapter %, General stat
utes of 1855, the undersigned, judge OF the Dis
trict Court and County Attorney, during the
last December term of said court, and ON
Monday, February 18th, lS1s, made personal
cheney for the safe keeping Of prisoners, their
accommodation and health, and inquired
into the manner in which il had been kept
the September term of said court in 1871. We
are pleased to be able to report that We
found the Jail in excellent condition,-the
prisoners apartments, being Clean and well
arranged. and their comfort being attended
to in all respects as far as we could learn
The diet is good and the discipline Just
what IL should he. We believe that the
management OF the jail is all tiiat coulu OF
should be expected.
We would further respectfully suggest the
following improvements:
irst:-That cuivert shonla DE pun, rom
the jail waier-closet to the creek. The health
of tine prisoners, and in fact, that OF all par
ties living in and about the premises de
mand il. We would suggest a tile sewer, and
that il Is only nee. ssary TO furnish the tile,
as the prisoners under the shefiH can 10 the
work.
nished for bull ding a new fence on three
sides OF the Jail yard. The north, east and
south fences being worthless.
Third lowing TO the fact, that Win tne
present number of guards IL is impossible to
keep the prisoners employed, and believing
that their health. as well as proper discip-
line demand that they should not De allow
ed to lie about in idleness, we would recon-
mend that the Sheriff be authorized to en-
ploy an extra guard, when in his Judgment
IL Is necessary, at the expense OF the county,
to be paid the same AS the other guards, when
actually at work, TO enable him to furnish
the prisoners proper exercise and work.
We cannot close this report without add.
ing that the county is remarkably fortunate
in having its Jail under the charge of OIL
Gers at once faithful and efficient.
All Of which Is respectfully submitted.
Judge District Court.
