day inspected by the building COM
-mittee of the county commissioners
and by MI Edwards, a member of
the firm of architects OF Edwards &
Walter, OF Atlanta, who drew the
plans for the Jail. That it was en-.
tirely satisfactory in every particular
was the statement of all who in
spected the building.
Through the courtesy of ]. ]. Ian
ford, the superintendent, who had
the construction Of the Jail in charge,
a News reporter was yesterday shown
through the entire building, and now
he is figuring on committing some
offease so that he may occupy one
OF the cells. in the new place. The
only trouble about residing at the
new jail, is the fact that you can't
change your place of residence at
your own desire.
One cannot, fully realize the ex-
cellant Jail that Glynn county has
without paying it visit and going
through the building. To say that it
is the best equipped Jail in the south
is only quoting those who have seen
some OF the best jaile in this sec
ton, among Wfona is Afcnrect Ed
wards
Entering the jail the first rooms, on
either side of the building, are for
the use Of the sheriff and jailer. On
the right is room that can be used
for a bedroom or sitting room, and
on The left is Well-equipped din
ing room Both Of these rooms are
haadaomely finished with withered
4 cak Next come the Kitchen and pan
Try, equipped with dumb waiter
and every other convenience. 1t will
not be necessary for the jailer to
carry meals to the prisoners, as they
can De sent up on the dumb waiter.
The two front rooms of the up
stairs are equipped for bed rooms,
to be used by the jailer, guards, ETC.
Both of these rooms are well fitted
up.
In the rear of the downstairs sit
ting room is consultation room,
where attorneys or others can con-
suit with prisoners, but by a screen
arrangement it is impossible for them
to hand to prisoner any instrument
by which he could make his escape
from the building.
Next comes the main cell room, con-
tening twelve cells, with capacity
o. thirty two prisoners. This room
Il comfortably equipped with bath
ms, hot and cold water and every
ctaar convenience. Every cell is,
t proof, and a test yesterday aft
erneon showed that it is impossible
t3 lie the material with any kind Of
tcol
: new invention, by the Pauly Jail
company, has been applied for the
Z fI.t time on the Glynn county jail.
K IS a sliding door locking device,
complete in every detail, and makes
it impossible for the prisoners to
ovarpower the sheriff or jailer should
he step into a cell to see a prisoner.
Pv this device the officer can stand
a. the door of the cell room and open
all or any Of the cell doors. The
locks work automatically, and this de-
vice is considered one of the greatest
iafl inventions Of the age.
\ On the second floor comes the
fumigating room, another set of cells,
eight in number, hospital cell,
Juvenile cell, condemned cell and the
insane cell. The latter is thorough
" padded, top, bottom and sides, and
no matter how crazy person may
be it is impossible for him to injure
himself in any way in the CELL un-
less. Of course, he used his mouth
to bite himself.
The condemned cell is large and
raony. with a window opening on II
street. In the cell is everything need
ed by the. prisoner SO that it is never
necessary for him to leave the cell.
It is the largest individual cell in
the jail, and will afford the con-
demned prisoner some little comfort
while awaiting his final day.
\ The execution trap is on the sec
I'd floor. wifi lever and all connect
1t is 50 arranged that man
Nd in the jail will fall through
