Clearfeld county is large enough and
wicked enough to have large and
substantial Jail, but according to notices
appearing in the Clearfield papers the
jail is in very dilapidated condition.
In fact the sheriff and his family and
the inmates of the Jail risk their lives
by staying in the old thing. We don't
know how many prisoners there are in
the jail, but we should Judge that II
murder and other high crimes are COM
mitted in other portions of the county
as they are in Dubois, and the
criminals make good their escape, that
there is little use for county Jail only
for keeping people in for trivial ofrenses,
who have no desire to escape. This
being the case why not rent good
sized house and allow the sheriff to
move into it and keep his prisoners
where their lives would not be daily
endangered.
