Maybe some of the old ways are best ?

This was the jail in Holliday Tx , it was 'decommissioned' in 1952' . My daughter go's to high school there just a few blacks away so I pass by it all the time . I have often thought these type accommodations might solve the revolving door system now in place at modern prisons . Heck ! It even had air conditioning built in the doors for the Texas summers !

That's a palace compared to the old Palo Pinto county jail. It was a single room made of strap iron welded together. Prisoners sat in the Texas heat with iron walls that would burn them if they touched them.

At least the concrete walls on that jail wouldn't burn you.
