CITY OF SOUTH BEND South Bend, Indiana 46601 Jerry J. Miller Mayor Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. Director, Public Works Members of the Common Council 441 County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Gentlemen: Reply To: Department of Public Works July 9, 1975 An appropriation ordinance is being filed to provide funds for mod- ification to the jail portion of the Municipal Services Facility. This modification is necessary because of the manner in which ju- veniles must be handled in the jail facility. In order to comply with the law, juveniles must be housed in a large bullpen area and then locked in individual cells. None of these cells have toilet facilities in them. This creates not only a health hazard, but also a very bad security problem. Police personnel must constantly be opening the cells to allow ju- venile prisoners access to the toilet facilities located in the bullpen areas. This situation could become impossible if the four adult cells become full and more adult prisoners are brought in. Chief Walsh has indicated that he considers this problem to be of an emergency nature and recommends priority be given to its reso- lution. Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended. Very truly yours, Rollin E. Farrand, P. E. Director REF:dsr CC: Mike Carrington Chief Walsh ,
