A new prison today is now build for between 500 and 1,000 inmates.

The figures are higher for female inmates, the report says.

Now, the facility has a reading room for inmates and their children.

In 1936 there were only 1,056 cells for 1,600 inmates.

County officials could not immediately provide average daily figures for new inmates.

The purpose until then was just to provide a safe place to stay for inmates who were dangerous to themselves or to society at large.

The county would limit the number of days for inmates in the cells.

Libraries are provided for inmates to read, study, and research any of their interest.

"It goes to the heart of what we do, really, providing security for inmates."

In the 1970's, there were 19 full-time teachers for 600 inmates.
