Terre Haute, In. – A judge has inspected the new Vigo County jail following a lawsuit involving overcrowding. Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse says it was a positive visit and the judge was “impressed” with some improvements she saw in the new jail. One of those includes increased staffing. Plasse says the jail was not built big enough. He worries that if they move more inmates in, they could become overcrowded. The sheriff says next month he will meet with the county council to go over increasing staffing at the new jail.
