THE OTTER TAIL JAIL.
| Secretary Fl. H. Hart of the state board of
corrections and charities returned home from
a mouths visit East yesterday. Together
| with MIR. E. P. Bassford of st. Paul, the
architect employed by the commissioners of
Otter Tail county. he has perfected plan for
the new county jail at Fergus Falls.
| This plan is designed to obtain the security
OF the ''steel cage" system, and at the same
| time provide adequate isolation and separa-
| ton OF prisoners without eXorbtant expense,
at the same time giving them plenty of fresh
air, light and heat. 1t also OBJ
| Vlates the extraordinary expense of
heating now in incurred in most of
! our county jails, the jails being divided into
four distinct sections for heating purposes.
The structure is to be two stories in height,
2OX4o feet, of brick, the entire cell block be-
ing inclosed by structure of steel and iron
Tor security, the cell partitions being OF in
expensive material The sheriff's residence
will be attached and arranged with special
reference to observing the prisoners.
Several of the ablest authorities in the
country were consulted, among others Fred
Wines, secretary of the Illinois board of
charities, DR.. A. s. Byers secretary OF the
OuiO IOl L. ID. 1OulOu SeCICGdIy vi
the Massachusetts, board, Capt. Oliver Biddle
secretary of the. Pennsylvania board,
W. f. Spaulding of the Massachu-
sets prison board, and Expert Hon.
Mahlon Dickinson of the Pennsylvania
board of charities, and Hon. Joseph Perkins
of the Ohio board, who has made Jail archi-
lecture a special study. Practical sugges-
tons were received from these gentlemen
and some of the best jails of Ohio, Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire were visited.
The Otter Tail county board of commits
sioners meet next Friday to get the benefit of
the observations made by Messrs. Hart and
Bassford on the trip above referred to.
The main features of the proposed plan
met with decided approval from the able
gentlemen consulted in the East. Mr.. Hart
made a special inquiry of prisoners in the
jails visited as also officers where prisoners
were kept entirely separate and found that it
gave great satisfaction over the herding sys
tenn which is the general plan all over the
country. The former method is considered
also to have a more punitive feature and
effect than the latter method.
