Abstract:
The first six districts assigned either 2-4 judges each began hearing both civil and criminal cases in 1967. Of these judges, some have prior judicial experience, fifteen are lawyers, and two have no previous experience; a stipulation in the Constitution does not require legal training to become a judge.

A brief outline of the history of jails and prisons from colonial era to mid-20th-century modernization of the state controlled prison system is presented.

In 1868, major changes occurred with the General Assembly establishing a state prison and modifying the state constitution to limit death penalty crimes (arson, murder, rape, and burglary) and suspend all corporal punishment. By 1957, the State Prison Department was created to deal with all prisoner related matters.
