The Miami County Jail “MCJ” is better than the Wabash County Jail “WCJ”. The WCJ and MCJ are very much alike, but have many differences. There are many issues at the WCJ. The differences between the MCJ and WCJ are the way that they are composed structurally, how prisoners are monitored and security, and how many prisoners can be held.
The MCJ was built in 2009 and the WCJ was built in 1979. The MCJ is composed in a pod set-up, where jail officers monitor cameras and intercom systems. The WCJ is set-up in a linear system which does not allow for a pod, but allows for a control room. The WCJ is hands-on, whereas the MCJ is hands-off. Back in 1979 when the Wabash County jail was built, it was believed that it would never be completely full. …show more content…
At the MCJ, security is higher due to the different range of criminals they deal with. Visitations are monitored at the MCJ through video and audio. At the WCJ, their visitations are monitored through audio and not video. Security is lower at the WCJ because it is an older jail. The MCJ is controlled by a pod control system that has cameras to monitor blind spots where jail officers might not be able to see. At both the WCJ and MCJ, jail officers are employed to maintain the inmates. At the WCJ the environment is a little more laid back than at the MCJ.
The MCJ can house 240 inmates whereas the WCJ can only house 72 inmates. The WCJ is overpopulated; they have 35 inmates in the MCJ and 84 inmates and their facility. The MCJ had 144 inmates in their jail, only 109 of those inmates were their own. The MCJ is larger than other facilities, so the other facilities pay them to house some of their inmates. Some of the inmates in both MCJ and WCJ are inmate workers or trustees, but very few inmates get those privileges.
Thus far the Miami County Jail is better than the Wabash County Jail. The Miami County Jail is newer; it has better security, and holds more inmates. The Miami County Jail has higher and better security. There is more space in the Miami County Jail. In my opinion, I believe that the Miami County Jail
