After the inside tour, the sheriff took us all outside to view the confinement cells.

They were 2 foot x 2 foot holes in the ground about 6 feet deep.

Yup, he said they used to place the 'bad guys' in the hole for a few hours to mellow them out.

The Hole...in Florida.

Yes, this was Florida in the 60's...obviously the sheriff had fond memories...of inflicting suffering on inmates.
