Each bares the name of an inmate who died at the Barton Street jail since 2012. "We want a memorial for our loved ones," said Amy McKechnie, whose brother Ryan died at the jail in 2017. Tamara Bowley helped paint and put together the crosses during a marathon effort with the help of her brother and sister-in-law and McKechnie. It's a lasting reminder of those who have died even after the loved ones leave and the sound of their rally fades. Bowley said they'll stay in place until a permanent memorial is put in place or conditions inside the jail change.
