Remarks:
Mr. Elish: How many days did you say - 2900? That is almost a hundred a day. How do
you put that many prisoners in there.
Mr. Roupe: We are running way over a hundred.
Mr. Elish: That is more than we have had for a long time.
Mr, Paluso: I think, for the benefit of the news media, the state has inspected our jail
and one of the interesting items in the inspection report is that it costs us $1. 10 a day to
feed an inmate in our jail. The average total costs to maintain one inmate is $6. 02 a day,
which is remarkable. (This information is from the inspection report of July 1971)
Motion carried by unanimous vote cast by the board signifying their
approval verbally by stating "Aye. "
Moved by Judge DiSalle that the meeting adjourn.
Meeting adjourned.

Roupe talked to Mr. Strasser of the Hospital yesterday, who informed him that the
agreement.was in the possession of Mr. Cook, who was out of town. Mr. Strasser told.
the Warden that he would have the agreement brought down to us, as soon as Mr. Cook
returned, This agreement was satisfactory to them. � I
Warden Roupe reported that in reference to the inspection made by
Sheriff Debreczeni and Mr. Paluso for the last meeting the following has been done,
(1) the windows have been repaired by county employees, (2) the school room has been
painted, and (3) the open area in the school,room (air vents) has been closed with bricks.
Mr. Paluso stated the subject of the air vents had been discussed at other meetings and
there was talk of putting steel bars and a lock on this, but this way was much easier to see
what is going on in the area.
Judge Curran entered the meeting.
Warden Roupe reported that he is to meet with a representative of the
Mosler Safe Co. to make a survey of the monitors and check the cameras and he feels
he can comply with the requests of the board. Mr. Whalen stated that previously, the
main problem was that we couldn't get anyone to service the cameras. Mr. Whalen and
Warden Roupe met with a representative of the Crime Commission on this subject, at
which time Mr. Whalen called one of the local banks to determine who does their service.
The bank gave Mr. Whalen the name of the Mosler Safe Co. Mr. Whalen called the
Mosler Safe Co. , who in return set up the meeting for tomorrow. The Mosler Safe Co. said
to put the thing in operating order, it would be a time and material basis as -far as cost
is concerned and once it is in operating condition, the Mosler Safe Co, will discuss an
annual service contract.
Warden Roupe also reported that the Crime Commission will be ready
for bids. Mr. O'Brien will be working on the steel stairway, Mr. Bruno on the wash -basins,
