Oconee County Jail
The old Oconee County Jail is a former jail that was located at Short Street in Walhalla, South Carolina in Oconee County. The jail was located on the grounds of the current Oconee County Courthouse. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1982 along with the Oconee County Cage. At the time of its listing, the jail was one of the few remaining nineteenth or twentieth century jails in upper northwestern South Carolina.〔 It was demolished around 1985.〔 Subsequently, it was delisted on December 12, 1989.〔〔
==County penal system in early 20th century South Carolina==
In the early twentieth century, county jails were primarily for holding individuals who were awaiting trial that could not afford bail.〔 Male convicted prisoners were either sentenced to hard labor on the county chain gang or sent to the state penitentiary.〔 In 1916, about 94% were in county chain gangs and about 6% were at the state penitentiary. In this period of racial segregation, white prisoners were separated from African-American prisoners.〔
Instead of being housed in the county jail, chain gangs were housed in cages, cars, or tents near the work site. The cages and cars could be used to also transport the convicts.〔
