Abstract
Each year more than 1,000,000 persons pass in and out of the 3,100 county jails and 10,000 local police lock-ups and other jails. More offenders are committed to the county jails than to all state and federal prisons and reformatories in the nation. In 1960, 1092 persons were committed to the five correctional institutions in Iowa but in the same year 19,122 persons entered the 98 county jails in the state.
