Indianapolis Juvenile Correctional Facility

[citation needed] In 2009 the girls were moved to the Madison Juvenile Correctional Facility, and the former IJCF became the current location of the Indiana Women's Prison.

Girls who were "epileptic, insane, feeble-minded, paralytic, pregnant, or had a contagious disease" were not admitted to the facility.

A state law brought any girl who was convicted of activities which included but were not limited to: visiting gambling places, trespassing on railroad property, patronizing liquor saloons, using bad language, or smoking cigarettes to the school.

[9] On September 10, 1964, the Indiana State Police were dispatched to the school in order to stop a riot that involved 200 girls.

A Grand Jury started an investigation of the riot, and discovered that there were many factors that led to the incident, including homosexuality, drug usage, and a lack of respect for the school's superintendent.

The Indiana Women's Prison, located Downtown Indianapolis, moved to the old Girls School to accommodate overcrowding.

Some male inmates located near the Plainfield Correctional Facility were moved into the old Women's Prison downtown.

the Indianapolis Juvenile Correctional Facility houses only females, the majority of which are between the ages of 14 and 16 years, approximately 60% Caucasian, 35% African-American, and 5% other.

The facility has an administration building, thirteen single-story housing units, infirmary, dining hall, and school.
