The Miami County Incarceration Facility will begin accepting inmates into alpha pod later this month after being closed for 3 ½ years due to the economic downturn which caused budget cuts. Bravo pod will likely open later this fall as the hiring and training process for new staff concludes. Each pod can house a maximum of 60 inmates. The Sheriff’s Office was budgeted to open two of the four pods this year. After B pod is opened the downtown jail will fall back to a population not to exceed 55 to be in compliance with minimum state jail standards. The recent average population at the downtown jail has been 115.
In anticipation of the facility being re-opened and after receiving inquiries from citizens to be able to tour the facility we will be offering tours to the public on Friday July 12th from 1:00 – 5:00 P.M. only. This will be the only date and times we will be offering tours as after we begin accepting inmates, for security purposes, we can no longer offer access to the building in the jail area.
Staff will be on hand to offer the tours and answer any questions the public may have about either jail.
