Page 79           Biennial Report of the State Board
                    of Corrections and Charities

       Jail at Harbor Springs—A new two story frame building, taking the
    place of one condemned by the Board. This new jail, though some better,
    is a failure in its jail features. The visiting commissioner says of
    it: "Had the plan been submitted to our Board, we would have said,
    'don't throw away your money in the erection of such a building for a
    jail.' "Its four cells of wood, with iron doors, have been exchanged
    for an iron cage with four cells, since last report, which makes the
    jail more secure. The jail is heated by stoves, has no sewerage, and no
    ventilation, except by windows, and no provision for the separation of
    female and juvenile prisoners.
