Comments: There was a guard with a metal detector at the entrance of the building. The employees do smoke inside the building. There are ash trays throughout the Stairway.

Getting to the Jail was very hard. The key to the actual jail looks like it was made a really long time ago, and the employee that let us up there did not have a key to the actual cells where the records were kept making it hard to get a exact count of records,

There was a security camera right outside door of the Circuit Clerk
