Whitley, State Inspector, Re commrnda County Feeding Pris oners From County Home. The following report on the con lltlon of the Franklin County Jail is the result of an Inspection made >y State Inspector L. G. Whitley, on [uly 22nd, 1931, with recommenda lons has been received by Chair nan W. T. Moss, of the Board of bounty Commissioners and Supt. E. 3. Perry, of the Welfare Depart-, nent: Jailor: A. S. Wiggs; Asst. Jailer:, it. M. Minor. Population: White male 1, Color id female 2, Colored male 3. The Jail was remodeled a few rears ago and has adequate facilit ies for the usual jail population of he county. Method of Management: The Jail s operated on the fee system. The aller receives 60 cents per day for feeding the prisoners. Some com ilalnt was made by the prisoners re tarding the quality of the food VI IOd. ? r ' The prisoners remain locked In he cells and corridors at all times. Jo Jail official stays at the Jail eith r day or night. General Conditions: The wom in's apartments of the Jail were in :ood condition. The apartments for he male prisoners were not being aaintained in a clean and tidy man ler. Rubbish and collections of ma. erials were observed. Old rubbish >nd inflammable materials were ound In cans and n^ptal barrels In nd about the jail. The practice of blowing Inflammable materials to emaln in and about the jail bulld ng where cigarette stubs, eto. may >e thrown, has already demonstrat d the fire hazard. A can sitting m the porch filled with rubbish, etc., ras Ignited sometime ago and burn d part of the posts on the porcfh. "he Jail is fire proof, however, the [anger lies In the possibility of suf ocatlon from smoke. Recommendations 1. Remove all rubbish and gar age from Jill dally. 2. The Jail cells need painting n some sections. 3. The elimination of the fee ystem for feeding prisoners Is be-1 oming common practice. Probably . satisfactory arrangement could e worked out to feed the prisoners rom the kitchen of the County lome, which would be advantag ous for all concerned.
