1t isn't often that the man who
puts a prisoner under lock and key
is considered his friend. yet the turn
key at the county Jail is sometimes
taken into the confidence OF the
men who await trials for crimes they
have been implicated IN. and through
them he gains a knowledge OF the
rings and gang operations here that
is just as great as that OF the police
authorities.
Prisoners are human beings just
like anyone else and their hesire for
friendship is just as great as that Of
anyone else. They like TO tell their
troubles the same as the business
man or woman. They like 10 boast.
too. and also give out their ahbis.
The man they see most is the one
they general confide in. The turn
key Is generally the man.
He seems 10 know the two sides Of
all the stories. He gets the one side
from the police. and the other from
