Miscellaneous, Bainbridge Lockup is Officially Inspected, 1922

Bainbridge Lockup is Officially Inspected
Norwich Sun, Nov. 20, 1922
 
The state prison commission has approved the following report inspection of the village lockup at Bainbridge:
 
Inspected Nov. 10, 1922.  Howard L. Owens, village president.
 
This lockup is located in a room in the basement of the municipal building, which is a modern pressed-brick structure, and besides used for village and town purposes a considerable portion of the main floor is occupied by the post office.
 
The cell room is fireproof and is accessible from the main entrance and also a separate side entrance at grade.  The room is light and seems to be quite free from dampness.  There are two modern steel cells, each provided with a toilet, steel bunk and good bedding. The room has electric light, steam  heat, and a faucet with water.  The lockup was found in excellent condition and is said to receive some supervision when occupied, which is a rare occurrence, except a few lodgers are cared for in cold weather.
 
Respectfully submitted, Clifford M. Young, Chief Inspector.
