Webster County Jails

Webster County Jails is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Webster County Jails rather than just read about it. In short: The Webster County Jails, located at intersection of Montgomery St and Goare St. in Preston in Webster County, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The wooden jail (pictured at left) was the first jail built for the county between 1855 and 1856.

Key takeaways

Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Webster County Jails to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Webster County Jails from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Webster County Jails, located at intersection of Montgomery St and Goare St. in Preston in Webster County, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The wooden jail (pictured at left) was the first jail built for the county between 1855 and 1856. It housed prisoners until the brick jail (right) was constructed in 1910. The wooden jail that you see is the one that housed Susan Eberhart, the second and last woman hanged in the State of Georgia, from May 10, 1872, until her hanging May 2, 1873. The Webster County Jails are located on an unnamed city street at the jct. of Cass St. and Old Post Office Rd. in Preston, Georgia. The Old Jail and the New Jail are two contributing buildings in the listing. The Old Webster County Jail is a one-story building built c.1856, built of 5 by 9 inches (0.13 m × 0.23 m) hand-hewn log timbers. It has been moved several times between nearby locations: in the 1950s, in 1975, in 1977, in 1995. In 1999 it was being used for storage, while there were plans to make it into a museum. The c.1910 New Jail, built c.1910 by the Stewart Jail Works Co., is a two-story brick building upon a concrete foundation. It has brick corbeling and a string course at its cornice. There is architecture, Late Victorian, about. They are the only two correctional facilities built in the county.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Webster County Jails

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Webster County Jails claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Webster County Jails before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Webster County Jails ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Webster County Jails

In research: Webster County Jails appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Webster County Jails in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Webster County Jails is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1856 establishments in Georgia (U.S. state), Buildings and structures completed in 1856, Buildings and structures completed in 1910, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Webster County Jails outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
