BETTER HEALTH CONDITIONS
AMONG MISSISSIPPI JAILS
Or. Rowan, Sanitary Officer, Writes
Letters to All the SherifTs
Of the State.

The jackson News says: DR.. w. n.
Rowan, chief sanitary inspector, re-
4 ports that he has been much gratified
the past week by finding two jails In
The state making every effort to meet
aa regulations Of the state board Of
alth One Of these "a the Forrest
county jail AT Hattiesburg, which hsg
just been .cpainted from dark rel
10 white on the inside, has discarded
quilts, supplying new blankets Instead,
and has also new cotton mattresses
instead Of excelsior, and is otherwise
sanitary throughout This wok has
been done by the newly elected sheriff,
Mr. Harberson, who has been in office
only a month
The other jail commended is ths
town Jail Of Lumberton. which has
been properly painted and otherwise
equipped under the directions Of May
or McNair. until it goes on record as
the first municipal Jail to meet all re-
quirements.
The town Of Lumberton has ALEC
built two sanitary slaughter houses,

erage and is doing its utmost to meet
al regulations governing municipal
sanitation.

in majority Of county poorhouses,
county and city jails in Mississippi is
deplorable.
Shame for my native state alone
keeps me from going into detail MS to
ny findings in some Of these insti-
buttons. Under section 268 of the
state constitution, supervisors and
'herifTs have taken the following oath;
81 do solemnly swear Cor affirm
that will faithfully support the con
stitution Of the United States and the
constitution Of the state Of Mississip-
pi That will faithfully dis
charge the duties of the Office upoa
which | am about TO enter. SO help
me Cod"
Section 329 of the code outlines the
duties Of supervisors, and says that
they shall protect prisoners from sick
ness and infection and shall fine the
sheriff If he fails in his duty.
Section 2707 Of the code says that
the grand jury shall make an inspec-
ton Of Jail and report to court. These
grand juries, also sworn to do their
duty, almost invariably report every
thing in first class shape. Section
1854 says that the sheriff shall keep
Jail clean and comfortable. Section
1851 says that clean bedding and
wholesome food must be furnished to
prisoners.
In addition to the above the state
board Of health has passed reasonable
regulations for jails which are equiva-
lent to law, the execution Of which
bound BY the same oath taken by
supervisors AID sheriffs as outlined
above
In only a few instances have shcriFs
ard supervisors met the requirements.
If the Jail under your supervision
is not painted white; II it is not pro-
vided with bathing facilities; II It is /
badly lighted. heated and ventilated; IT,
prisoners are not kept clean; II you

kets; If you are using any kind Of

mattress except cotton, you are not
obeying the law, and are violating the
oath that you have taken.
Officers who are anxious to have
others obey the law should obey 1t
themselves.
Perhaps no state in the Union shows
such a disregard for the keeping of
jails and poorhouses as does Missis.

Finally, | trust that you will re-
spond to this letter IN the spirit in
which il is written--I have appealed
to you before. Many of these appeals
have been UNDECIDED
