ing was being altered today so that
in the future it will be almost i'm
possible for a man to climb to liberty
as did the thief who got away this
week.
The screen was placed in the jail
to separate the woman who are placed
on the second floor, from the men
below Before the screen was put in,
man could climb up to the gallery
around the women's quarters and min
gle with the female prisoners. This
screen put stop to that.
The screening was tackled upon a
framework of wood. the frame being
so arranged that it formed rather
good ladder for anyone who might
wish to get out by risking the climb
to the ceiling
These cross pieces were on the In
side of the jail &C rridor, but today the
screen was all removed and nailed
upon the outside of these cross pieces,
so that now there is nothing for man
to get hold of with hands or feet
The screen is of fine strong mesh
and too small for the insertion OF
fingers and it would take a mighty
slick scamp to be able to climb to
liberty now.
