Plans For New County Jail By W L Knickmeyer
County commissioners signed a contract with architect W Haskell Olive Jr to design a county jail with capacity for 41 inmates and future expansion. Preliminary plans show a modern facility on Townsend near Court Street with secure visiting areas, booking, jailer quarters, kitchens, an exercise yard, and separate housing units including mental and juvenile cells, a four woman cell, and four man cells. Local funds via a five mill levy will back the project after federal aid was deemed unlikely.
