Honorable IMavor and Members of the Cit; Council:
I stopped at Hutchinson on Februar; 16, hoping to review procedures and
inspect the new lockup, which I 'Fully t�>a-�ected to find completed.
I reviewed the plans, makine a nuri-er of suggestions which might better
implerient the use Of space and decrease the overall costs. Chief Broderius_
and i•'Ir. Jennings are in favor of the r.entlioned changes, which I would like to
have an opportunity of discussing with vou.
Your present lockup is far fro -1. ade(ivate. I cannot see it beim operated
in its present condition for much longer. I must also emphasize that at any
time a prisoner is held in your loci:up, there must be a custodian or officer
on duty in the lockup itself, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 642.02, Subd. 2.
I reviewed the records kept or prisoners with Chief Broderius and suggested
that he obtain the latest approved locicup resister, which will make his reporting
of prisoner records much easier.
I certainly feel that you should improve your detention facility and make
provisions so that your police department can properly -carry out this function.
I would appreciate nearing ~ror` you regarding this matter.
Sincerely ;71-Z
