Call them unintentional inmates. Big crowds showed up for a glimpse of the new county jail, and some visitors spent a little longer inside than they planned. A few accidentally locked themselves in a cell, and one group got stuck in a storage room. "People were impressed with the security," deadpanned Sheriff Phil Povero. The new Ontario County Jail in western New York near Rochester was opened to the public Saturday, and roughly 1,200 people drifted through during the day. "Unfortunately, in some areas, if the door closed behind them, they got locked in," Povero said in Monday's Daily Messenger of Canandaigua. Confinement only lasted a short while. "As of last night, everyone was out," Povero said. |
