Health Officer Appears Before coun?
ty Doord und Urges Tiutt Provision
Be Mode for Separation of Dlseae*
cd Prisonersi
The question of Incarcerating pris?
oners With tuberculosis and other se?
rious Communicable diseases in the
same cells or room with healthy pris?
oners was again protested against by
Health Officer i:. i. Reardon before
the Hoard of County Commissioners
Tuesday.
This |8 a complicated question and
one that will never be solved correct?
ly until the county commissioners
build a hospital annex to the county j
jail or build a largo and more mod- 1
em lanitary jail.
The recent state Board of Health j
regulations, which ar.- law, absolutely
forbid prisoners with communicable I
diseases being placed In any city or
county prison unless the >ick prison- j
era are separated from the well pris?
on- s and a tine of one hundred dol?
lars is Imposed for violation of this
law.
The sheriff, by law Is compelled to
accept any prisoner sentenced to the
? unty jail or arrested and brought
there f >r trial, The County Commis?
sioners claim that the sheriff is re?
sponsible for the county jail and the
prisoners therein.
The sumter health officer contends
that it is the business of the County
Commlssloneri to provide a suitable
county jail or hospital annex, and that
It is the business of the local board of
health and health officer to enforce
the State Hoard of Health laws.
Therefore at Tuesday's meeting of the
county board Health Officer Reardon
insisted that Davis Wells ,a tuber?
culosis prisoner be removed from the
county jail or separated from the oth
er prisoners. There are other provis?
ions of th- State Hoard of Health laws
not being complied with in the coun?
ty jail, but the county Commission?
ers have not had time since the State
Hoard regulations were received to
comply with all the new regulations
luch as providing a bathing place for
new prisoners, and fresh clothing for
them while their clothing is being
! washed and disinfected, and other
requirements of the new law.
The State Hoard of Health laws
take precedence over all other laws
as laws protecting public health al?
ways have precedence over conflicting
laws.
l'nles? the tuberculosis prisoner is
immediately separated from other
prisoners the local health officer will
call in the State Hoard of Health to
enforce Its mandates.
It now begins to look as though the
county officials with the assistance of
the county legislative delegation will
have to move to the end where a
more modern jail will be erected or
the present Jail made larger with a
hospital annex and other sanitary ar?
rangement* The local health officials
nay they urc In the fight to a finish for
humane treatment <>t prisoners and
protection of public health.
That it ie inhumane, unjust, and un?
fair, to compel helpless prisoners to
risk their health and lives shut up
in a closely confined and poorly Ven?
tilated cell with a tuberculosis pris?
oner goes Without saying, and public
sentiment will back up the health
Officials, both State and local, in their i
light for humane and fair treatment I
for helpless prisoners.
The grand jury has rec ommended a
new jail or enlargement of the present
jail with proper sanitary arrange?
ments and hospital annex. The
County Commissioners are anxious,
or say they are, to comply with the
State laws. But they claim a special
Act ot the Legislature is necessary to
do anything,
i>r. s. C. Baker, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, who was at?
tending Tuesday's County Hoard meet
' Ing on other public matters, made q |
forcible speech backing up the con?
tention of the Sumter health officer
, 'or separation of sick prisoners from
