Study Of Local Criminal Justice System Should Be Complete Soon

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The second part of a study concerning overcrowding at the Vigo County Jail should be complete by the end of September.

RJS Justice Services just completed a study of the Vigo County Jail and now they are looking at the local criminal justice system.

This part of the study will look into how quickly cases proceed through the county’s criminal justice system.

RJS has already determined Vigo County is proactive when it comes to offering programs that reduce the jail population.

RJS says the second half of the study will not impact its recommendation that Vigo County should build a new 527-bed jail.
