Our criminal justice class took a trip to the Huntington and Wabash county jail this week. I was very excited to go on these trips since I had never actually got the opportunity to go into the main parts of the jail before.

The Huntington County jail (HCJ) is located in downtown Huntington, catty corner from the court house. Having…
