10 THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE, TUESDAY, FEBHUATIY 18. 1908. GRAND JURY SCORES JAIL Denounces Unsanitary Condition as Worie Than libby Prison. UXETED TO, EOO PES ALSO Sheriff lm Hit Fore BUuaclcu, 4k Rrspnnatbllltr FbIIIb ftls and Iadea.aer tfc Balldlac securing If tha paopla of Doulaa county and Omaha knew the condition existing at tha county jail thar would rlaa up and de mand that tha authorities do something to relieve the situation, tha county grand ' Jury handed Judge Bears a special report in which they advocate agi tation until a new Jail building Is erected. The present structure Is likened In the report to a "hog pen." a "stock car" and "Llbby prison." Tha report Is signed by all sixteen of the Jurors at la the result of a visit the grand jary made to tha Jail last week. It says that Sheriff Bralley and his assistants are In no way to blame for the conditions as they are doing the best they can. After telling of the visit to the Jail the repbrt continues: ' In view of the frightful conditions found there we deem It eur duty to report them at once. It is with shame and regret that we find It necessary to report thai everything per taining to the Jail and the prisoners therein Is In a most deplorable, miserable and dls guxtlng condition. Tha Jail Is in all respects unsanitary. Vpon . entering we were greeted with a nauseous, stifling odor thai was positively sickening. We were Informed that there Is no remedy for this as conditions now exist. We found that It Is necessary to require six men to sleep In a small cell scarcely large enough for one. We found that there are 128 prisoners confined In the Jail at this time and that this Is far below the average, and yet there Is not room for the proper accommodation of mora than one-fifth that an -Tiber, and that at times there are as many as la men, women and children crowded Into these mlsnrablo quarters, re minding one of a , stock car loaded with cattle or hogs. We find that It Is frequently necessary to confine in one room loo men and boys of all ages, conditions and color. Here are prisoners charged with all the various crimes from vagrancy to murder; here vile and wretched criminals, old and hardened In the business, ace huddled together with young men ami boys, who are often the victims' of misfortune rather than crime. The result can scarcely be Imagined, much leas described. In this room, without ventllstlon, the air' so foul as to b nauseating in the extreme, these prisoners arc compelled to live and eat and sleep. One .who would . crowd his hogs together and, compel therh to live In air so Impure would be arrested for cruelty to animals. Llbby prison tn Its palmiest days oould not have been worse than the Douglas county Jail, except perhaps In the Item of food. Ptiaaaers Slclilr svnd Pale. ' The result of all . this Is that prisoners confined here a short time appear sickly and pais.' Young men and boys, compara tively Ignorant of the ways of the criminal, huddled together with dope fiends, vicious and hardened criminals, learn lessons In vice ' and crime that they never dreamed of before. We desire to assent, however, that the sheriff and his assistants are in no wise at fault for the conditions as they now exist. They are doing tha best they can with the means at hand. This Jail was erected many years ago, at a time when the - needs of Douglas county were not one-fifth what they are today.. In our Judgment the alterations now contemplated by the county commis sioners are only a makeshift, and while they may relieve the situation In 'some respects fori; the tlme being, will do but little good. '. - The only remedy Is a new, modern Jail building, one that la sanitary and 'can be ventilated, one that Is large enough so that - tha old and vicious criminals can be sep arated from those young men and boys . who have taken tneir nrst step in wrong doing., '; V ' v The members of this grand Jury feel confident mat wnenever me ciusens of Douglas county become familiar wltb the conditions herein faintly described they will riot only sanction the erection of a new Jail, put' will demand of those In authority thaf., Immediate steps be taken to bring this knout. We find that similar recom inendatioht' have been made by every rand jury called within' the last ten year 2nd yet nothing has been done. We therefore suggest that If this report falls to move thou' In authority - another grand Jury he called Soon and this matter be stilt further agitated and these condi tions be continuously proclaimed from the housetops until the good people of Omaha and Douglas county rise up and demand that thli foul blot be removed from their midst.

Mr. Amos passed through Omaha October 17, .1807, and as ha came out of the Turf saloon on Douglas street a box ot Jewelry was taken from his pocket Though the Indictment said It was worth 1700, Mr. Amos say H was worth more than Jl.ooo and consisted of forty different pleoea. He was tn Omaha Monday and appeared against Woodall. After the pickpocket had confessed and been sentenced Mr. Amos paid a ' tribute to the skill of the Omaha police force. 'As there were six or seven Implicated in tha 'robbery, t would seem Impossible to get alV tha jewelry," said Mr. Amos, "but ithlo three . days after , the robbery the Omaha police had secured every piece of . th,e Jewelry In the case.
