Editor PRISON MIRRoR:-
In THE MIRROR of December 18th, l
note "Jasper's' second article on the
separate confinement of prisoners in
county jails, in which he objects to the
separate system on the ground that,
many of our jails are SO constructed
as to make it impossible to confine pris-
oners on the separate plan without
serious injury to the health of prison
ers aud unnecessary suffering. There
can be no question as to the correct
ness of this view, in which [ concur.
1 desire simply to call attention to the
provision of the law on this point.
See general laws of 1898, chapter 1877,
section IA, which provides that: when
ever the construction of the Jail will
permit, strict separation of prisoners
by keeping each prisoner in his own
cell shall be maintained
This section has been construed by
this Office, as well as by the sheriffs, to
mean that the construction of the jail
shall be such as to provide each prison
or with large, well lighted and venti.
lated cell. The jails of Big Stone, Blue
Earth, Faribault, Goodhue, Hennepin
1tasca, Mower, Mobiles, Olmstead, Otter
Tail. Polk, Swift and Yellow Medicine
counties are so constructed. The cells
of these jails are 612 8, or7x7 feet
The front of each cell is composed Of
open lattice work and the cells are il
most cases as we'll lighted and ventila
ted as the rooms of an ordinary dwell
ing house. H. H. Hart.
