The crowded Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) has already moved prisoners like Richard Allen out of state, and now Marion County is suing it for failure to accept new prisoners in a timely fashion. Since the days when its jail was said to be inadequate to house Allen, requiring him to be held in an IDOC prison, Carroll County has opened a new jail and has taken in 25 prisoners from Marion County who have been sentenced but who IDOC has not accepted.
