Information of four Jails covered.

Jails were unsafe places, no plumbing and Prisoners had to provide their own meals.
1868 found the need for a new jail – poor job of construction.
1888 – Those under 16 y/o sent to a separate jail facility.
1892 – Report on construction of jail. Poor planning and construction.
Conditions still poor. Problem with Sewerage, cleaning of facility.
All types of Prisoners were in the same cells.
1892 – Conditions of the Jail were considered deplorable 32 Freeholders planned review of conditions and plans for a new Jail.
January 1979 Old Jail was finally torn down.
In 250 years, there had been four Jail Facilities in Sussex County. This led, finally, to a new current Jail.
and incarceration of Jail Facility in Morris County. (Cost saving!)
There was a lively Q/A period.
