F I THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER SERVING THE CHAIN-O-tAKES REGION SINCE 1875 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17,1969 SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 Finding After Tout Of County fall Revealed The John Howard Associa­ tion of Illinois board of di­ rectors, upon its request (as ther of the periodic, near mthly visits to jails through- nt the stateVmet and toured tie McHenry ebunty jail. Meet- with the association were sheriff, the chairman of the inty board of supervisors, chairman of the sheriffs >mmittee, the state's attorney other county officials. The association was positive- impressed with the staff, cleanliness of the jail and concern for the prisoners sing demonstrated through visiting hours and the fcse of reading materials and fcher means to help meet the fver existing idleness problem. It was the deep concernofthe ^ so^ation that immediate ac- n is needed in the area of planning for a new facility and acting on those plans. The jail is in violation of various health and safety codes. The Howard association stated: "The extremely crowd­ ed conditions make life diffi­ cult for both staff and pris­ oners. Jails generally outlive their usefulness after 40-50 years. Built in 1885, this jail has certainly served its use­ fulness. "The lack of. space for stor­ age of evidence is a serious problem of which the officials are most aware. "Idleness, as in most jails is a serious problem and a new jail and revised program are needed to change this ser­ ious situation. You have no space to keep prisoners separ­ ate who should be supporting their families and themselves on the work release program ( which Wisconsin has had since 1913). One third could be on work release as in Wisconsin. "The John Howard as­ sociation was pleased to hear of the county's wish to construct a new facility. Of concern to the association was the need for meaningful planning prior to actual construction. No arch­ itect can design a building until program ik decided upon with­ out a planning study ( which ar­ chitects don*t\do) the size of the jail will be only guess­ work. An "at cost" (we are a non-profit agency) survey can be done by JHA which could save the taxpayers millions of dollars over the next forty years. We just finished the study jfor a new Milwaukee county (Wisconsin) jail complex, are now studying Rockford and Win­ nebago county and expect to conduct studies in several oth­ er, counties in the near future. A lew (profit) generalist, man­ agement consulting firms make such studies for three to five times our non-profit cost with generally a narrower study scope and a less well developed finished product (expectedly so since we specialize and they don't). "The major purpose of the study would be to analyze pre­ sent facilities and services op­ erated by McHenry county for handling offenders, determine future needs and make recom­ mendations regarding facilities and services to meet projected needs over the next 40 years. "The survey of present needs and programs affecting daily population, together with a pop­ ulation projection of approxi­ mately 40 years, will result in recommendations which, when implemented, will provide the greatest projection, efficiency and long ran&e economies. "Key officials in the general administration of justice field will be interviewed. Data re­ garding the handling of of­ fenders on a county-wide basis, dating back over at least five years, will be obtained. "Survey recommendations will be based upon proven stan­ dards and practices in existence throughout the country. JHA is in constant touch regarding the latest and most effective prac­ tices, policies, equipment Mid architecture. "As part of its regular sur- f? vey, JHA, upon request, will make a cost analysis regard­ ing the location of facilities on alternative sites. Depending up­ on layout, location, degrees of security provided, practices upgraded and programs imple­ mented, millions of dollars can be either saved or unneces­ sarily spent over the life of any new facility". Holiday Hills Inez Young 385-4672 Weyland, was our guest for the evening. The next meeting will be held on the second Wednesday of next year.

The makers of Impala generously offer these tips to competitors to help improve their resale value. They could try adding t>ur side guard door beam struc­ ture, heavy steel rails inside the doors. They could do something about the rocker panel prob­ lem, as we have done with flush-and-dry rocker panels, instead of being content to let rust accumulate. They could put inner fenders in every model, just like Impala. Who knows? Come resale time their outer fenders might look almost as good as Impala's. They could hush up the sounds of old age with something like Impala's long life exhaust system, aluminized at critical points for greater durability. Impala's cargo-guard luggage compartment is a good bet, too. A steel bulkhead separates luggage from passenger compartment. Beats paper or plywood all hollow. We suggest an acrylic lacquer finish, so their cars will keep their shine longer. But if competition doesn't take these tips, you certainly should. Buy an Impala. It's such a rewarding car to get rid of.
