What is to become of Windham coun-
ty's jail?
1t is uninhabited and has been so for
three months
The expense of maintaining it contin-
ues, which is money practically wasted.
For several years, or since the local
option law went into effect, the number
of prisoners finding lodgment in the
county jail at Newfane has been much
smaller than formerly, but with booze
easily available in nearby Massachusetts
towns and cities a certain number of ar.
rests in the county for intoxication were
inevitable
The number was gradually diminish
ing, however, and with the advent of ma
tional prohibition they practically disap-
peared altogether, and for about three
months the key has not been turned on a
prisoner in the county jail for any of
fense.
In the Brattleboro municipal court in
the year 1919 there were 26 intoxication
cases as against So in the previous wear
and 81 in 1917. With the closing of the
Massachusetts bars, however, the local
court business in intoxication cases is
practically nil. There has been a corre-
! spending decrease in Bellows Falls and in
/ fact all over the state.
Windham county's jail was remodeled
several years ago at an expense of sew
eral thousand dollars. 1t was fitted with
thoroughly modern cells and other equip
ment and was made one of the best iails
in the state.
There was business for it then. but
there is none now. 1t has to be heated
IN cold weather, however, to prevent the
pipes from freezing, and otherwise looked
after to prevent deterioration, the ex-
pense being several hundred dollars a
year.
OF course there is need occasionally for
Ja!l quarters for persons who are await
ing trial for other offenses, but almost
from time immemorial the majority of
prisoners have been those doing time for
intoxication.
1t has been suggested in official quar-
ters that the jail be given up and that
the police stations in Brattleboro and
Bellows Falls be utilized for the tempo
rary confinement of prisoners, sending
the long-term prisoners to some other in
stitution.
