Commissioners Close County Workhouse
From The Indianapolis News, Friday, May 31: The Marion County Workhouse, 403 W. 21st St, will close tomorrow and the eighteen prisoners now confined there will be moved to the county jail where the sheriff will set off space to be designated as the workhouse. The county commissioners said the closing was a direct result of the prohibition law. Since the law went into effect, the number of prisoners at the workhouse and at the jail has decreased more than fifty per-cent. E
