About Clearmont Jail
The Clearmont Jail is a historic jail located on Water Street in Clearmont. The jail was built in 1922 to address the growing crime problem in the town. During the 1920s, the jail was mainly used to house drunkards and bootleggers. Once Prohibition was repealed, the nature of crime in Clearmont changed, though by the 1950s the majority of criminals were still disruptive drunkards. -from Wikipedia
