Judge D. N. Busenbark.

of 48 inmates. However, Jailer
William Kissinger says there have
been times when the jail has
handled a total ol 51. mis can De

the corridors of the jail for ad
ditional inmates.

six units in the jail building. The
largest unit is the federal tail
I section which will hold 19 inmates.
I This section of the jail was built

singer says the unit is used pri
I marily for billeting federal pris
! oners while in transit and all felony
