Rules for confinement in the Kanawha County jail were approved by Intermediate Court Judge William J. Thompson and take effect immediately. The rules require a proper commitment for ongoing confinement, allow release at 9 a.m. if no commitment is filed, and permit holding intoxicated prisoners until sober or a commitment is received. A held arrestee must have a card detailing the charge, and no bond is allowed before formal charging.
