On motion of G.Purcell ~cCue and seconded by J.~.~ray the following report
of the Jail ~ommittee was unanimously ordered to be spread.
Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors of ~lbem~rle County:
Tour Ohairmmn appointed two members from your body, B.~.Ca~houn mhd Charles
A.~iller, to examine the condition of our ~mil and to recommend such improvement in
the m~nagement thereof as was deemed wise for the welfare of the prisoners.
Tour committee hms gone into this matter very thorougly and, in ~ddition
to visiting the jail mhd studying the needs mhd control of the pri~sn~rs, h~ve made
m visit to the St~unton ~nd Harrisonb~g and ~uray jails in company with ~r. Smith,
the ~heriff, and N~r. Bennett, the ~ity manager.
.We found that our jail compared f~vorably with the jails ~t t'hese points
except there was a slightly~ better equipment mt Stmunton and ~arrisonburg and we
are of the opinion that when the plumbing ordere~d by the Board of ~upervisors has
been installed, that our jail will rank possibly ms one of the best ~ails in this
section of the
~l~eanl~i~e~s: Ne would recon~nend that an effort ~e m~de on the part of the
Sheriff ~nd ~iler to see
thorough cleaning once a day, provided t~t these men in charge can use their
prisoners to clean the interiro of the ~ail, ms was found to be the practice in
other jails.- ~e would recon~nend f~ther that the oresent practice of purchasing
expensive m~ttresses, which we observe are soon soliled, torn and are unsanitary,
be abolished and in place thereof good heavy ducking be made up into ticks and filled
with baled straw, which can be washed mt each filling. ~e found this to be prmtic-
ulmrly ~ good practice at several of these jails.
-Exercise: The handling of the prinsoners from a standpoint of exercise, which
is so much desired on the part of lady visitors before the Board, w~s the most
difficult problem we had to consider. To t~rn prinsoners loose in the jail y~rd was
m dangerous undertaking and was so stated by all the jailers with whom it was o~
privilege to discuss this subject. The life of a guard would be endangered; to keep
several guards would be too expensive.
Your con~nitte~ hms made a tentative arrangement with the City ~n~ger "by
which prisoners, ~fter conviction and~ serving a term, be worked on the Streets of
Charlottesville by the City of Chsrlottesville on suitmble drays for outdoor work;
mhd for which time the .City would pay the amount of ~5 cents each per dray for their
services. This would not only give them exercise, but considermbly lessen the
cost of keeping these prisoners to the County. Of course, we mpprecimte thmt
those prisoners wmiting for trial could not be utilized mhd it remains for some
future system to give these people exercise.
~oo~ ks to the question of food for the prisoners, we found that
prisoners were receiving as good rand well cooked mn~ prepmred food ss thmt of tony
~mil thmt we visited mhd in this connection, we would only suggest that the chmrmcte~
of the food now being served would be varied from day to day ss much ~s prmcticable.
In concluding, we wish to state thst we rare l~mving with the sheriff
~miler rules mhd regulmtions formulmted by the Stmte authorities and used in the
lmr~ger prisons, recommending thmt th~yuse them as far as they will apply to locml
conditions st this plmce. We should stay mlso thmt it is our desire thst the prisoner-
be m~de confortable and well fed~ but, we do not feel beyond thmt it is necessary
to hmve hotel mccommodations provided ~or lmw breakers.
iour Co~itte hms been gremtly plemsed with the splendid spirted of
cooperation shown by the Commissioners of the City of Charlottesville and the
City ~m na ger.
Your Committee recommends thmt m hot water heater be instmlled in order
thmt the prisoners tomy hmve hot water.
nespectfully submitted:
