Perhaps You have even been

the music emanating from Sheriff
{. l.. Gillett 5 detention home. What
you don't know, perhaps, is that
You may be listening to performers
who have more than held their own
on radio programs, on the stage. and
in cabaretS and night clubs.
There is Clifford Kem2ey. for in

willie and done his bit over the air.
This same kemzey now cooks up the
corned beef and cabbage for his
Jail pals. and in between meals
croons the Prisoner Song to un-
sympathetic pots and pans, wishing,
it may be, that he had never given
way to that urge toward bad check
writing.
And that soprano doing all the
popular song numbers, that is Rosa
Castro of Mexicali. who decided one
night to come across the border into
these United States without first
consulting the proper authorities on
her action. Deputy sheriffs have
of late often expressed the wish they
might turn Miss Castro loose for
Just a little while, so that she might
add some new numbers to her roper

LIFE AT COUNTY JAIL is NOT

in the county jail except the wom-
ems and children 5. has IT'S duly
elected sheriff and Judge, competent
to metc cut punishment to ell
docrs. And what is more to the
point, these officers and the forces
they represent are respected by their
follows. You might say the sheriff
and Judge of the tank are lead
ing citizens of the community.
When Il prisoner is greeted by
Jailer Nett he leaves his valuahlcS
in the reception room, and IS given
a receipt. after which he is es-
corted ioyfully to the "tank" as
signed to him. Here he is taken
into custody by the " sheriff, y
hailed before the Judge, - tried and
sentenced.
The receipt given him by the
.iailer is taken as evidence, aud the
msicreant fined anywhere from soc
to So, sometimes more. He signs
another receipt, the money is taken
from that he left with the jailcr,
and goes into the general fund,
From this fund the prisoners buy
groceries. newspapers, and other
items the sheriff s offices allows
them to have.
Al OF which makes a lot of hard
work for Jailer Eddie Nett, since he
keeps books on the actions 'of the
various duly constituted courts. He
is officially known as the ''kan-
garoo bookkeeper. - His accounts
must he exact. for the prisoners
keep their own books to check on
his accounts. 1t might be in the
hope of bringing a charge of EN-
