they were housed in the jail.
Many lunatics were also
sent to the jail for safe
keeping. The process for
classifying someone as
"dangerously insane" in-
volved much "red tape" and
inmates were detained up to
three years while waiting to
be moved from Goderich.
One violently insane
woman was kept locked in
her cell at all times because
there was no other method of
restraining her.

As a result of extensive
research undertaken last
summer by Rob Cornish of
Bayfield, the Huron Historic
Jail now has new brochures
and signs carrying more
accurate information.
The signs and booklets
were written by Anne Boyle,
as part of A Yung Canada
You too
can measure
up
Works project. Cornish's
research last year was done
in conjunction with the
Experience '78 program.
The most surprising fact
that has been revealed is
that the majority of the jail's
inhabitants were not
criminals, or lawbreakers.
Gaolers made complaints
"concerning the practise in
Goderich of incarcerating
the aged poor in the common
gaol of the County." No other
institutions such as hospitals
or old peoples homes existed
in the county, and as a result,
needs were often kept in the
jail. Then there was the case
of the man committed for no
other crime than "that of a
sore finger."
The last public hanging in
Canada allegedly occurred
in the park just outside the
jail walls. Only one other
hanging ever occurred at the
jail.
In 1911. a man was hung in
one of the smaller court
yards, and supposedly
buried there. "However, the
body has been removed, and
only the story remains."
