St. Olaf County Jail and Deli

The jail in St. Olaf was described as cold with steel bars, and wedges of cheese hanging overhead, tantalizingly just out of reach.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the farmers in town became volunteer policemen. Because of the low level of crime in St. Olaf, the volunteers often sat around the jailhouse and took pictures of each other behind the bars in goofy poses.
