Why wasn't this inmate considered a high risk transport? Why was this Deputy transporting an inmate with these kind of charges by himself ? I thought this new facility was going to be safer for the staff and the community ? So is their new " modern, holistic, data-driven approach to the Indianapolis justice system" facility less secure than the old jail ? Sure seems like it is.
I know they bragged about how this new jail was going to focus on the mental health and addiction issues of the inmates, but it seems they cut corners when it comes to maintaining control over the inmates. What the heck is the command staff doing over there ? Something doesn't add up.
I would bet "manpower" is the answer. They simply don't have enough deputies to run the facility. As to why, I'm sure it's a multi-faceted issue with recruiting issues, pay concerns, working conditions, etc. etc. IMPD is running short AF, but my understanding is MCSO is even worse. No insider info here, just scuttlebutt and limited exposure due to previous homicides at the jail.
