To the Honorable J. Will Pless,
Jr., Presiding Judge in the
Superior Court, Polk County,
North Carolina:
P We have inspected the County
Jail and found the building in good
condition with the following ex
ceptions—
The metal work of the cages and
interior of the building is in need
of painting. We recommend a larg_
er hot water tank to be provided
in the kitchen and safety valve
installed as there is some danger
from overheating as now equipped.
We also recommend all joints and
pipes of the plumbing around the
stove be checked and corrected
where needed.
We believe the prisoners are
being suitably cared for.
We inspected the State Prison
Camp and found it in a most ex
cellent condition, with a large
quantity of hom e grown food on
hand with w r hich to feed the
prisoners.
ak We visited the County Home
found the outside premises
neat and clean. The inside of
the houses wa s found in good
shape except possibly the wash
basins and toilets might be kept
in a little better shape. The
houses need nainting inside and
cut. The kitchen was visited and
found to be very clean, with ao
parentlv a good dinner on the
stove in, preparation.
