New City Jail About To
Be Opened For Business;
New Color Motif Prevails
By HALE 6CARBROUGH
The squat concrete and steel
building back of the city hall,
Klamath Falls new Jail. Is about
ready lor occupancy.
Sometime In the next couple of
weeks, probably, the police depart
ment will move Into the new build
ing, taking along all lis equipment
and whatever prisoners happen to
be In the old hoosegow at the mo
ment. The new building, which has
been about nine months building,
will house the department In more
elegance and space than the police
have known In Klamath Falls here
tofore, and will accommodate
about 50 or 60 prisoners In con
siderably more style than to which
thev might have grown accustomed
In the ancient city hall basement
lockup.
The present Jail, In use since
1914, many times has been con
demned by grand juries and gen
erally hasn't been considered a fit
keeping place for prisoners. But It
has been steadily .In use over the
years.
Before the last war the city and
county entered on a plan for a
Joint county-city Jail and Justice
building, and saved money toward
. that end up until last winter. Part
of the city's money was raised by
taxation for Jail purposes and
rnnlrin't be merit any other way
But the joint Jail plan fell
through and the city put Its money
into a jail of Its own. located on
the lot back of the city hall. How
ard Perrin was architect and Pin-
niger and Watkins the contractors.
The original bid price was $107,-
690 for construction plus 6212 for
Ironwork.
Additional work figured In after
the contract was let and furnish
ings will up the total price to some
where arouna ii,uuu.
The fall faces on Walnut. Enter
lng the front door a customer
comes first to a business window
where such activities as collecting
parking meter ticket money and
filling out accident reports is car
ried on. Down a corridor to the
left are private rooms for the po
lice chief, detectives, sergeants and
a, squadroom.
Other customers, who probably
won't be coming into the building
unaccomoanled. will enter by
side door and be confronted Im
mediately by the booking desk.
Right across the hall are drunk
tanks where prisoners are to be
put to sober up before being trans
ferred to the main bullpen or cells
upstairs.
The second floor contains the
bullpen and half a doien smaller
cells. Including women's quarters.
The decor of the building is
something more than remarkable,
and it's a question whether it'll
be appreciated.
Walls inside the side door are
painted a sort of pastel orange:
the drunk tanks are aluminum: up
stairs corridor walls are light
green; bullpen walls are buff; cell
walls are green.
The cell furniture bunks and
picnic type bench-tables is made of
steel. The color scheme imparts
a rather airy effect.
