Jail heat has been on all week, set according to jail standards

By Linda Waggener

Adair County Jailer Joey White said there is no truth to the rumor that the heat has been off in the jail and that visitors are welcome to walk in at any time to check on conditions.

There have been no times it has been turned down nor off, and no electrical outages that would have upset the heating and cooling system.

The equipment, he said, has performed perfectly and the heat has been on continuously. When the temperature falls below 68 degrees, the heat automatically kicks on. When the temperature rises above 72 degrees the air conditioner automatically kicks on.



White said that through the extreme weather changes we've encountered this week the heat has remained set, as it always is, in compliance with jail standards between 68 and 72 degrees year-round.

He said that just as in our homes, all heating units struggle to keep interiors warm when they are pushing up from below freezing.
