New county center consolidates facilities
By CAROL LUMAN
Staff Writer
It doesn't have all the comforts of home, but both prisoners and law enforcement personnel will have "luxuries" they're not used to when the new Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center opens in November.
The center, 11th and New Hampshire streets, will open on Nov. 1, Sheriff Rex Johnson, to told members of the Cohasset Coalition and Delinquency last night as they toured the facilities.
the city and county jails will be combined in new court and the county will take charge of the cases.
The new jail will have 53 beds—nearly twice the current capacity of the city and county jails. The county now has 26 beds and the city has several small holding cells.
THE NEW center contains seven cell blocks, each with a day room where prisoners will spend most of their time. Each day room has a metal picnic table for the prisoners' use, and prisoners can watch television in the rooms.
Television cameras mounted on the walls in the dailies will be monitored from the control room.
However, the cameras worry him, the sheriff admitted, because of mechanical failure and removal of the human element in watching the prisoners.
The cameras were installed because the cells are out of sight of the control room.
"TM SURE we'll lose one or two prisoners the first week," he said.
"Don't laugh," Johnson told his chuckling audience. "Johnson County lost six the first
There are always some loose ends left united in a move to a new building, he said, and prisoners usually make an effort to find those loose ends.
At the Johnson County Jail, he said, construction workers or staff members forgot to lock a ceiling cover and the door to a building in front of the jail, but not out of the building.
THE PRISONERS have a recreation room, which will have a basketball court, a ping pong table and tables where cards and boards games can be played.
Families visiting prisoners will talk in a lounge, also monitored by cameras.
For one-to-one visits, there is a visiting room adjacent to the control room. There, prisoners will speak to visitors through a glass partition.
This will keep contraband, which has been a progeny to the present jail, from escaping. We must keep it out.
Juveniles will have an educational room where teachers can help them with their studies.
THEERE IS a laundry room where inmates will wash their clothing and bedding, and the sheriff appeared worried about problems there.
The laundry room has washer and dryer
packages in the dressing rooms in case of
wet clothes or washers.
The prisoners' food will be catered, but the jail has a small kitchen area where meals can be kept for prisoners who may have to eat at different times.
One of the conveniences for law enforcement personnel is the availability, for the first time, of locker rooms for both men and women officers.
Officers can change to and from street clothes in the building. Before, officers wore uniforms. After, officers wore
The new center also has combined communications and record-keeping systems for city and county law enforcement.
The communications center will have an officer from both the city and county on call.
The combined record-keeping system will make it easier for officers from both agencies to locate information on offenders. Previous arrest records from both the city and county will be combined, as will future records on individual offenders. The city will be in charge of the record-keeping system.
CITY AND county law enforcement administration offices will be separated from the jail section by the records center. During the tour, Johnson's talk was frequently interrupted by questions from the most particular of the jail and its operation.
The council has been active in the planning of the facilities since the $4 million grant from the FAA.

This year's final court continues a trend of record-setting fall enrollments begun in 1973. That year, after a brief period of small declines in enrollment, the fall figure was 20,322. It climbed to 22,182 in 1974 and 23,541 in 1975.
On the Kansas City campus, enrollment in the School of Allied Health dropped 17, and enrollment in the School of Medicine dropped 19.

"More and more people began studying the effect of fluorocarburons on ozone and found it to be more complex than previously thought," he said.
John Landgrebe, chemistry department, chairman said there was evidence there hadn't been as much of an ozone depletion than it seems. It looks like fluoroparticles are a threat."

Perkins also said there were other gases that could be used as propellants in aerosol form.

Avid Model 102
The "top rated" Avid Model 102 loudspeaker was designed to satisfy serious music listening desirers the sensibilities of a two-way bookshell design without having to sacrifice extended high-frequency and bass performance in return for midrange smoothness and definition. Since its introduction in 1973, the Avid 102 has received broad critical acclaim as the most accentuated performance range around it. We feel it compares favorably in performance with many systems casting up to twice as much.
