Health Officer Appears Before coun? ty Doord und Urges Tiutt Provision Be Mode for Separation of Dlseae* cd Prisonersi The question of Incarcerating pris? oners With tuberculosis and other se? rious Communicable diseases in the same cells or room with healthy pris? oners was again protested against by Health Officer i:. i. Reardon before the Hoard of County Commissioners Tuesday. This |8 a complicated question and one that will never be solved correct? ly until the county commissioners build a hospital annex to the county j jail or build a largo and more mod- 1 em lanitary jail. The recent state Board of Health j regulations, which ar.- law, absolutely forbid prisoners with communicable I diseases being placed In any city or county prison unless the >ick prison- j era are separated from the well pris? on- s and a tine of one hundred dol? lars is Imposed for violation of this law. The sheriff, by law Is compelled to accept any prisoner sentenced to the ? unty jail or arrested and brought there f >r trial, The County Commis? sioners claim that the sheriff is re? sponsible for the county jail and the prisoners therein. The sumter health officer contends that it is the business of the County Commlssloneri to provide a suitable county jail or hospital annex, and that It is the business of the local board of health and health officer to enforce the State Hoard of Health laws. Therefore at Tuesday's meeting of the county board Health Officer Reardon insisted that Davis Wells ,a tuber? culosis prisoner be removed from the county jail or separated from the oth er prisoners. There are other provis? ions of th- State Hoard of Health laws not being complied with in the coun? ty jail, but the county Commission? ers have not had time since the State Hoard regulations were received to comply with all the new regulations luch as providing a bathing place for new prisoners, and fresh clothing for them while their clothing is being ! washed and disinfected, and other requirements of the new law. The State Hoard of Health laws take precedence over all other laws as laws protecting public health al? ways have precedence over conflicting laws. l'nles? the tuberculosis prisoner is immediately separated from other prisoners the local health officer will call in the State Hoard of Health to enforce Its mandates. It now begins to look as though the county officials with the assistance of the county legislative delegation will have to move to the end where a more modern jail will be erected or the present Jail made larger with a hospital annex and other sanitary ar? rangement* The local health officials nay they urc In the fight to a finish for humane treatment <>t prisoners and protection of public health. That it ie inhumane, unjust, and un? fair, to compel helpless prisoners to risk their health and lives shut up in a closely confined and poorly Ven? tilated cell with a tuberculosis pris? oner goes Without saying, and public sentiment will back up the health Officials, both State and local, in their i light for humane and fair treatment I for helpless prisoners. The grand jury has rec ommended a new jail or enlargement of the present jail with proper sanitary arrange? ments and hospital annex. The County Commissioners are anxious, or say they are, to comply with the State laws. But they claim a special Act ot the Legislature is necessary to do anything, i>r. s. C. Baker, President of the Chamber of Commerce, who was at? tending Tuesday's County Hoard meet ' Ing on other public matters, made q | forcible speech backing up the con? tention of the Sumter health officer , 'or separation of sick prisoners from BRIDE OF A RAY SHOT DEAD.
