project began in February of 2000 and concluded in February of 2002.
Approximately 10 to 12 visits were made with Bernie Sullivan, Public
Relations spokesman for the Bristol County Sheriff's Department, all
with the consent of Sheriff Tom Hodgson. The jail, located in
a thickly settled residential area on
Union Street in New Bedford, opened in 1829 and is the oldest jail
in America. At one time, the infamous Lizzie Borden, of Fall River, was imprisoned
there during her trial. She was eventually acquitted of the axe
murders of both parents. |
