<br />
<br />prisoners in the charge of matrons is the proper solution
<br />of this problem~ Just as long as female prisoners ar~ not
<br />in the charge of matrons, there is bound to be criticism
<br />~ad ugly incidents from time to time. I do hope we will be
<br />able to get together on ~u .arrangement whereby this criti -
<br />eism can henceforth be eliminated.
<br /> Unless this arrs~ugement is made and matrons would have to
<br />be provided for all three jails, it would call for 9 or lO
<br />matrons, ~$_ichi s uneconomical, and to the writer does not
<br />appear to be the sound solution.
<br /> None of the three jails at this time are so constructed
<br />that proper segregation arrangements could be made without
<br />materially changing the present construction, which would
<br />cost money. The suggested solution could be carried out
<br />without the expenditure of funds for structural changes~
