1t has often been necessary to place
prisoners IN the misdemeanor block
who should have been placed in the
felony cell block, or, If not this meth
cd, 1t was necessary to crowd them
into the felony block, thus inviting
disorders which all too frequently
attend serious overcrowding with that
type Of prisoner.
The resolution further points out
there are no facilities for outdoor ex-
ercises or recreation with the excep-
tion Of two short periods each week
provided only for the TRUSTEES" Many
prisoners are required to spend weeks
and months in jail while awaiting trial
and there is nothing in the way Of
production work in the jail, with the
exception of Office and laundry work,
resulting in the idleness of many pris-
oners.
A particularly deplorable condition
existing is the fact that 1t is now
necessary to conduct all electrocutions
in the mess hall between meals, the
group said.
The resolution asked that part Of
the funds of the work relief bill now
pending In the House be used for this
project.
