Hastings County Jail 1863

File contains County of Hastings financial records from the County Gaol (Jail) in 1863. There is also a letter from a Grand Jury inspection regarding the condition of the jail and treatment the jailers receive; there is a recommendation that employment for prisoners while in jail should be available because it is believed “keeping them there in a state of idleness has no good effect in preventing crime”.
