Jail Study Delayed as Sheriff Seeks Meeting
Frederick County Sheriff Horace M. Alexander says he has not yet met with the county commissioners to discuss jail problems after two escapes in three months and an abortive escape last Tuesday. He plans a meeting this week and seeks funds to pay eight special deputies and hire an additional turnkey. County leaders insist the sheriff, elected by the people, is responsible for jail operations. A 1962 Maryland jail inspection recommended a full-time warden and custodial study, but no warden has been added.
