The Great Indianapolis Jail Census: You Can't Count 'Em All! (But We Tried)

Jails Galore? Not Quite...
First things first, Indianapolis doesn't actually have its own city-run jail. Shocking, right? Instead, Marion County, which Indianapolis is the lovely heart of, has the Marion County Jail II. But wait, there's more!
The Plot Thickens (With Sheriffs and Marshals)
Marion County also boasts the Marion County Jail I, which is run by the Sheriff's department. Feeling confused? Don't worry, we are too. Then there's the fun fact that the U.S. Marshals Service also has a detention center in Indianapolis! Is this Indianapolis or Dodge City?
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The Big Answer (Maybe)
So, with all this sheriff wrangling and federal foot-stomping, how many jails are there REALLY? Technically, there are 3 detention centers in Indianapolis (Marion County Jail I, Marion County Jail II, and the U.S. Marshals Service Detention Center). But hey, who knows what tomorrow holds? Maybe a rogue band of accordion players will need their own jail for excessive polka-ing.
But wait! There's a twist! Jails and prisons are different. Indianapolis doesn't house any state or federal prisons, so all those dreams of a slam-dunking basketball team behind bars will have to wait (although, with the way some teams play, you might think they were already there).
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Still Confused? That's Okay, We Were Too!
