Marion County detention center holds 2,226; HEA 1006 inmates at 10, officials report
Summary
A Marion County sheriff’s office major reported March 17 that the adult detention center population was 2,226 with detailed charge-level counts; the council also approved meeting minutes and adjourned by unanimous vocal consent.
A Major representing the Marion County Sheriff’s Office reported to the Criminal Justice Planning Council on March 17 that the Marion County Adult Detention Center held 2,226 people as of that day, including 1,922 adult males, 279 adult females, 24 juvenile males and one juvenile female.
“Chart 1 represents the total number of inmates in custody within the adult detention center as of today, 03/17/2025,” the Major said. The detention center’s crisis-mode capacity level was described as 80 percent of capacity; the Major said the chart would indicate in red if the population had exceeded that threshold.
The Major provided additional operational details: there were 10 inmates subject to HEA 1006 restrictions, with a 90-day average of 11; the facility was holding 141 IDLC holds and 61 parole holds; and approximately 60 inmates were estimated to be going out this week.
Charge-level counts reported for the in-custody population included 55 murder charges, 110 Class 1 felonies, 178 Class 2 felonies, 268 Class 3 felonies, 250 Class 4 felonies, 522 Class 5 felonies, 431 Class 6 felonies and 133 listed as other; 37 MC cases were also noted.
Procedural votes: the council approved the meeting minutes after a motion and second; later, a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and carried by vocal assent. The transcript records the motions and the chair’s query, “All in favor?” followed by “Aye,” and “Approved,” but individual vote tallies and the names of the members who moved and seconded were not specified in the record.
The council spent limited time on these items; Carlos Carrillo, board secretary (OPHS), called for acceptance of the minutes at the start of the meeting, and the Major’s report followed. The meeting then moved quickly to adjournment.
