Mr. Hubert. Do you consider that your physical set up, and by that I mean, bricks and cement and steel as well as personnel is adequate to accomplish the purposes that you have described as maximum security?
Mr. Decker. We feel that our men are qualified from the training that is given to them, one; that the jail has passed Federal jail inspection on many occasions; and we feel that our jail is so constructed that the prisoner is protected.
Mr. Hubert. Now, of course, you are aware that a man by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald was in the custody of the Dallas police?
Mr. Decker. Yes; I had some officers present when he was arrested.
Mr. Hubert. From the sheriff's office—sheriff's officers were present?
Mr. Decker. Yes; sheriff's officers were present in Oak Cliff at the time. They responded to the assassination of the killing of Tippit, the same as others. You see, I was at the scene of the assassination of the President.
Mr. Decker. When my officers were dispatched there, I also told some other agencies to send their men over there.
Mr. Hubert. Now, what is the custom with respect to prisoners who are captured or taken into custody by the city police when there is no warrant of arrest?
Mr. Decker. Most prisoners taken in custody by the city police are arrested within the corporate limits of the city of Dallas and they in turn are moved to the city jail, which is located at the corner of Main and Harwood, or better still, in the 2000 block of Main Street, and there confined until their period of investigation is completed.
