Jury finds Calvert Street Jail overcapacity in June visit
The 23 man April term jury described conditions at the Calvert Street institution during a June 15 inspection. They found 38 prisoners housed in the jail, sleeping on floors and in the furnace room, with plumbing leaks and no bathing facilities for women. The warden said there were no laundry facilities and mattresses were never cleaned. The 30 plus year old jail faced ongoing criticism amid prior heat shortages and stalled county plans for a new site. Separately, hospital notes report Mrs. James Hemler admitted to Gettysburg Hospital and several local discharges from Waynesboro and Gettysburg hospitals.
