State's prisons full

Prisoners at the Plainfield Correctional Facility face crowded dormitories and cramped common areas in this June 26 photo. Indiana is running so short on prison space that it had just 26 beds available for its worst offenders in recent days. Inmates are already sleeping in beds stacked three high in one prison, and officials are considering renovating common areas like gymnasiums into cells. Jackson County Jail at Brownstown is housing some state inmates, mostly those sentenced in local courts.
