Charlotte’s Authority on Women’s Wear 17 WEST TRADE ST. ’PHONE 77 ^'^“JPROTECTION! In regard to allegations and accusa tion which will be made to the board of aldermen tonight wnth reference to the arrangement of the cells wiierein w'omen are detained, Chif Christen- bury says: '‘No one can accuse the police offi cers of having crow'ded women in cells adjoining, or oppo site cells wherein wen w'ere de tained. Occasionally on Saturday night and Saturdays the negro women have to occupy cells in the same row wdth men, but these negro women are those w’ho have been arrested for drunkenness or for fighting with men in the streets. “A separate row of cells is pro vided in a separate part of the build ing for w^hite women. If the charge against any white w-oman is of a se rious nature, the prisoner is at once sent to the county jail, not being de tained at police headquarters for any length of time. "Fact of the matter is. police head quarters is not a jail. The cells are merely to temporarily detain prison ers. None ever remain there longer than tw'enty-four hours, these few hap pening Saturday nights and being held over until Monday when court meets. “I'^sually a prisoner is arrested at night and tried the next morning. Whatever the disposition of his case by the recorder he, or she, is sent to jail. If convicted and 'ordered to the roads the prisoner is removed from headquarters within an hour af ter adjournment of court* If a contin uance is granted the prisoner is taken to the county jail, or if the charge war rants the recorder in holding the per son for the superior court the county jail is the place of confinement. “Each cell is thoroughly washed out every day. The bed clothing is aired, and disinfectant is freely sprinkled over the cot and the blankets and upon ij|e floor of the cells and all along the corridor. “There is not a sign of vermin in any cell at police headquarters.” Con tradiction to this statement is defied by Chief Christenbury and his officers. “With the accommodations at hand the officers have done all within their pow'er for the prisoners. The sight along the row of cells some nights is not a very pleasing one, per se, for a lot of drunk men and women are not very conductive to pleasant sensations either to the eye or nostrils, “During the cold weather some wo men were confined in the row of cells for all classes because of the fact that a large stove stood in this corridor furnishing heat for all. In the corri dor running by the side of the four especially for women there is po stove and it would have been punishment to detain a woman in one of the^ cells even for only a very short time.” But the board of aldermen wnll be asked to do something tonight. Alder man Stewart has signified his purpose to call to the attention of the body the alleged bad conditions existing and to In his efforts along this line he will have the support of several good wo men of Charlotte who have made a study of conditions in prisons.
