REPORT ON COUNTY JAIL.
. Made April 11, 1922, By Assistant
' Secretary, H. C. Brearlev.
The condition of the Williamsburg
5 county jail remains satisfactory. The
plumbing has recently beer, repaired;
some additional blankets have been
secured; and several excellent night
' buckets purchased.
The greatest fault of the jail is the
lack of hot vater and charges of
clothing so that newly committed
1 prisoners could be compelled to take
* a bath and wash their roiled clothing.
5 Unless these precautions are taken
3 the jail may become infected with 1
5 vermin. The cost of the eradication 1
' of vermin may greatly exceed the
ecst of a hot water tank and half a
dozen suits of overalls and under'
clothes.
5 The dieting fee of forty cents a !
5 j day is low considering the small pop- '
1 j ulation, especially since the county (
dees not pay for a cook. Two meals '
; I are given each day. The breakfast 1
' I usually consists of hominy, biscuit. 1
') syrup, ana fri-'d bacon. The dinner {
', is corn bread, boiled baccn, and some
! boiled vegetable. Fresh beef is giv- 1
en on Sunday. 1

Report on County Chain Gangs. '
Three faults stand out at both Wil- ^
: liamsburg county chain gang camps, j
The soil pits in use need more earth j '
thrown into them each day to pre- j *
vent the breeding of flies in the ref- j
use; the kitchen cars are unscreened; jr
and the tents for the trusties are in J(
poor repair. The food at both camps 1
seems unusually good.
Camp No. 1, under Foreman Pri- j
vate, is now equipped with an ex- 1
cellent cage of 18/men capacity. The c
tiustees' tent while better than the 1
one in use last year, is not satisfac- *
tory and is not covered with a fly.
The condition of the beds at camp }
No. 2, under Foreman Brown, was 1
commendable, The mattresses are *
sunned once a week and the wooden
bunks scalded. The kitchen car not j
only needs screens -but is in very poor 1
repair. The attitude of the foreman t
to his men and his work is excellent. J
