The Natchitoches Times Feb 12, 1909 Sheriff Freeman has reported to the Governor that there were twelve insane persons confined in the parish jail during the year 1908. Their time aggregated 999 days and cost the parish $451.35. An effort will be made by the State to relieve the parishes of the burden of caring for these unfortunates. The asylums have been too full to accommodate all the insane of the State and some had to be confined in jails.
