Last night Frank was transferred from the Polk County Jail to Bethany Missouri. He is doing fine, but will miss the visits he could have had here in Des Moines.

It is nice to know that citizens can be held in privately run jails, particularly this one that looks like a commercial hog containment lot:
More about the "Bridewell Experience"
The Bridewell LLC Detention Facility provides it's service to the private corrections sector and houses an excess inmate population from surrounding counties and/or states. We seek to add clients from around the Midwest as well as pursuing a federal contract. Bridewell LLC was incorporated in January of 2004, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Polk County Land and Leasing Group LLC. Initially, the first client that enterd into an agreement was Polk County, Iowa.
The Bridewell Detention Facility management is based upon "Direct Supervision" jail philosophy, a more modern and humane approach over a traditional linear-style institution. Direct Supervision philosophy is a combination of management style and architectural design which facilitates increased staff and inmate contact and works to reduce tension and improve security within the correctional setting.
These facilities like the Bridewell Detention Facility are known as "Direct Supervision" jails, and they are generally regarded as the state of the art in jail design. In form, function, and style, they are significantly different from the old traditional jails. They have proven to be secure, safe, and cost-efficient places for inmates to live and for staff to work.
