The Miami County IN Jail is a detention center located at 1104 W. 200 North Peru, IN which is operated locally by the Miami County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Miami County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Peru Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Indiana here.
The Miami County Detention Facility was designed to safely and securely serve the present and future needs of local county law enforcement. Many hours of planning by State and Local officials resulted in a detention facility which incorporates the most recent trends in detention concepts, compliance with state and federal requirements, yet represent an efficient use of public resources.
Original Facility
The first jail in Miami County was a log structure destroyed by a fire in 1852. The county was without a jail facility until the construction of a new courthouse in 1858. This building which was later replaced by the current Courthouse included a jail facility in the basement. In 1898 the County Board determined that a new jail was required. Plans were adopted and construction started on a new building located on the corner of Fifth and Wabash streets in 1899. This facility which was erected for a total cost of $24,875.76 has served the county since that time. Like many other jails in the country, this facility slowly became inadequate with the passage of time and changes in detention practices and codes.
Current Facility
The design of the current retention facility reflects upon the character of the Courthouse Square through the use of materials and forms borrowed from this context. The 23,000 square feet of space in this facility provides detention areas for 46 pre-sentenced and convicted inmates of relatively minor crimes. The $2.4 million complex also includes the offices of the Miami County Sheriff's Office. The design of the detention areas reinforces current correctional concepts with the inclusion of 2 man cells, each with natural light and private toilet facilities, opening onto a common day room for a maximum of 6 inmates. Also available to inmates are an outdoor exercise deck and library/chapel. Activities of the inmates are monitored and controlled from guard stations throughout the building with the use of computerized control consoles and closed circuit television cameras.
The limited use of steel bars and other materials normally associated with jail design of the past does not diminish the quality of security in this facility. Included in the construction were over 180,000 solid brick and concrete blocks, 110,000 lbs. of steel reinforcement, 5300 lineal feet of piping, and 1,200 cubic yards of concrete.
