Prisoners To Get
3 Meals Daily;
No Food Parcels

Prisoners in the Montgomery
County Jail, Rockville, have gone
on a three-meal-a-day schedule,
instead of two, and they will no
longer be permitted to receive food
parcels from outside. The new
system was put in effect on Fri
day by County Manager /. G. Nc
Nayr on the recommendation If
Andrew C. Warming, who will be
the jail's new supervisor beginning
October 15.
The new schedule will call for
prisoners lunches at IL a. m. in ad-
dition to the 6 a. m. and p. m.
meals the only two included under
the old Jail routine. The daily
menus have also been overhauled
to include more variety, accord
ing TO Ben. r. Hall, personnel as
sistant to Mr.. McNayr.
Food costs will remain at about
go cents a day despite the addi-
tional meal, Mr.. Hall said. He
added that the county will also
save money by buying canned
goods through the State Bureau
of Prison Industries.
The rule banning food packages
was adopted as safety measure,
Mr.. Hall explained. He pointed
out an attempted Jail break was
thwarted last fall when Jailer JOS
eph E. Moxley found hacksaw
blades in an empty milk carton
brought to prisoner. New type
window easements and bars also
have been installed to prevent a
recurrence of the two Jail breaks
which occurred during the last 12
months.
Mr.. Warming, a veteran of 20
years service with the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, also has rec
commended that the clothing of all
incoming prisoners be disinfected
and that they be given distinctive"
uniforms.
