A new jail was built in the winter of 1899.
The jail was built three years ago and is already beyond capacity.
By 1881 a jail was built, but a courthouse only came in 1897.
That same year, the first courthouse and jail were built on the central town square.
The first jail was built soon after the county's 1876 official organization, the structure having been completed in 1878.
A new jail was built in its present location, adjacent to the original.
Throughout the years new jails were built to keep up with the growing inmate population.
Eventually a new jail was authorized by the commissioners and built in the 1870s.
During this era, a jail was also built in Winchester.
It certainly gave me some ideas about how to build better jails.
