Marshal Timothy Sperl taid attempts on his part and that of the Sheriffs Department to correct Municipal Court jail conditions have been frustrated by county bureaucracy.

"We've known of some of these problems for as long as a year and a half." he said. "But work order requests to alleviate the problems are backlogged in the county's Mechanical Department." "Both my office and the Sheriffs Department have been putting these requisitions (for repairs). The Sheriffs Department has a lot more clout than the Marshal's Office. If he can't get the things fixed, there's not a darn thing we can do." Sperl said the conditions at Compton Municipal Court are "terrible," but "not a helluva lot can be done" In that particular case. Since the county plans to build a new courthouse and other facilities in Compton by 1977, county officials are not too willing to spend much to repair the existing facilities.

Sperl said. "The jail there is completely Inadequate. It's too small. But it takes a lot of money to repair an old facility. You have to think about the taxpayers and the prisoners.

"There are times in that facility and others that you could almost say it is cruel and unusual punishment to keep people in there," he said. The ideal capacity of the holding cell is about 23 persons, he said, while as many as 63 men have been detained there in one dav. "The U.S. Department of Justice recommends from 0 to 12 square feet of floor area per inmate. In Compton.

sometimes prisoners have less than 4 square feet of area." Sperl said he was "very definitely pleased" with the Grand Jury's report, and said he hoped the Board of Supervisors would now take some action to remedy the situation as a result of the criticisms.

"We have to go a block and a half out of our way and I don't like being fenced, in," emphasized Mrs. Emma Morrison, 8134 Comolette Ave. She pointed out that "none of us is young."
