ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) -- As temperatures outside have dipped to below freezing, the Allen County Jail population is now on the rise. But why? It’s probably not because someone is looking for a warm place to stay and something to eat – “three hots and a cot,” as the saying goes. An arrest for disorderly conduct may get you into the Allen County Lock-up, but it’s likely you’ll get released on your own recognizance or “OR’d,” Adam Griffith, public information officer for the Allen County Sheriff's Department, said Friday. Griffith pointed out three critical numbers responsible for the increase. First, the probation violations jumped from 181 on Monday to 199 on Friday. Once there’s a violation, the violator is typically jailed without bond. That violation could be a “failure to appear” for court. Second, the number of pre-trial felonies increased from 295 to 301. It was already at a high number and indicates there are some people who are stuck in jail without the means to pay bail. However, inmates often depend on their family to pay bond and the family may choose to leave them in jail where they feel they are safer than out in the streets, Allen County Prosecutor Michael McAlexander said Friday. In 2027, county officials expect to open a new jail with more than 1,000 beds. Additionally, an inmate may be incarcerated on a comparatively minor charge and then it turns into a probation violation or a probation hold for another county or another state, McAlexander said. One number that won’t go down until January is the number of inmates waiting to be transported to the Indiana Department of Corrections. Monday, that number was 105; Friday it was 117 and will only go higher as the state takes sentenced inmates from other counties who have been waiting since September to send them off. Allen County is allowed to send 14 inmates each week. Other counties including Marion were willing to give up some spaces as Allen attempted to comply with a federal judge’s order to reduce the population. For comparison, when the sheriff was able to send more than 14 inmates each week, the numbers fluctuated between 25 and 45. With the jump in jail population, the number of inmates sleeping in boats rose to 76 from 39 in a week. Boats are the plastic shells crammed into cells when regular bunks aren’t available. Boat numbers also go up because of the need to segregate inmates. That means some cell blocks become overcrowded while others are not. With a population of 765 on Friday, including those individuals in lock-up waiting to be processed, there were 196 inmates to “keep separated.”  That’s more than 25% of 734, the total population inside the jail.
