About Additional Info:
Butler County didn't build a jail until 1857 when John Lacks was serving as sheriff. Until then, prisoners were kept in city jails around the county. Not much is known about that early jail except that it was a small log building built on the public square at a cost of $500. Then in 1870, the court ordered the jail be torn down and rebuilt one block east of the square. During the rebuilding process, prisoners were housed in Washington County's Jail.
