Sheriff reports successful move to new security center, 113 inmates relocated

Warrick County Board of Commissioners · August 11, 2026

Summary

Sheriff Mike Wilder told the board the department moved into the new security center and relocated approximately 113 inmates in one operation; staff are working through facility adjustments and will coordinate surplus items from the old building with county staff.

Sheriff Mike Wilder reported Aug. 10 that the sheriff's office successfully moved into its new security center and transferred approximately 113 inmates during a single operation last Thursday. Wilder said the move was kept quiet for security and ran from about 7 a.m. until midafternoon; staff are now addressing operational "hiccups" such as plumbing usage patterns and routine maintenance.

Wilder said the sheriff’s office has removed items they will keep and will work with county acquisition staff to inventory surplus items from the old facility and determine disposition. "We started roughly around 7AM, and by 02:30, we had everyone moved," Wilder said.

Commissioners thanked the sheriff and asked staff to coordinate surplus disposition with the acquisition administrator.
