NORTHWOOD – The electrical system controlling the lights and door locks at the Worth County Jail in Northwood has failed. Worth County Sheriff Dan Fank briefed the Worth County Board of Supervisors, and said the computer is 13 years old and not working. Fank said there have been no security issues, and they are manually opening cell doors and turning on lights. If the latest computer fix is unsuccessful, the county’s board of supervisors will explore buying a new electronic security system for the county’s jailhouse, which was built in 1955.
