Decatur County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center

Greensburg, Indiana

  • Emergency Operations and Police Administration
  • Jails and Prisons

Smart. Safe. Secure. The Decatur County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center will serve the community of its immediate and long-term needs. This project is alike to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center model. With the 236 beds within the same footprint as the Adams County Jail, it will provide accommodations for the future growth in Decatur County.

The fully-functional detention center possesses all components to maintain Sheriff’s administration, video visitation, intake, food service and laundry, medical, and housing. The two-tier housing area is subdivided into 8 day-rooms to give maximum flexibility for classification, and includes one dormitory, a recreational area that can be converted into dormitory, one unit of four man cells, and five units of two man cells. The housing pod consists of a central raised control room that is a centerpiece for a jail officer’s observation. Rear chases are provided to optimize maintenance and strengthen security measures. The jail is equipped with industry-leading electronics to ensure safety of all officers and support personnel. The plan is laid out for ease of expansion for all departments, and provides space for cross-agency activity.

The facility is also host to a minimum security housing operated by the Sheriff, consisting of a 28-bed male unit and 20-bed female unit.  This facility also hosts unique programming and educational opportunities for the inmates. Specifically, a recovery program operated in one of the minimum security dormitories intended to improve inmates needs and growth to become valuable members of society upon reentry.  Minimum security housing functions are separate from the secure jail location. The administration area includes an emergency operations center, Sheriff’s reserve office, workout facility, and organizational spaces for visiting agencies.

"Elevatus not only understands the higher education market place, they understand our university needs comprehensively. They are able to convert learning modalities and educational pedagogies into physical, durable locations within our buildings that serve faculties and students in an excellent fashion.”

Arthur E. Snyder, Ed.D.

Past President, Indiana Tech

"The level of service that Fort Wayne Community Schools received during the construction of New Tech Academy was superb. The architects were innovative and took the time to truly understand the different learning modalities that we wanted. They always gave close attention to details, schedule, and construction costs."

Liz Bryan

Director, New Tech Academy Wayne High School

"Sanilac County has continuously relied on Elevatus for their expertise and dedication to quality of service, and I have actively worked with them in the planning stages of our renovation and jail expansion project. I give my full recommendation for Elevatus for design and construction on building projects."

Garry M. Biniecki

Sheriff, Sanilac County

"I want to express my appreciation to the customer-oriented Elevatus for a job well done on our penitentiary at Terre Haute. Their incorporation of many complex design modifications to the Central Utility Plant without falling a single day behind schedule was particularly impressive. I look forward to the possibility of working on future projects with them."

Clifton L. Spence, III

Senior Project Manager, Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons, Washington, DC

"We chose Elevatus for our team on The Northeast Indiana Regional Public Safety Academy because of their extensive national experience in public safety, green, and educational facility design. Their role was critical in creating a building that was highly functional, energy-efficient, and striking in appearance. Elevatus receives my highest recommendation.”

Graham Richard

Mayor, 2000-2007, Fort Wayne, Indiana

"My experience with Elevatus has been excellent. I actively worked with them during the planning stages of rehabilitating an existing structure into a work release center, constructing a new jail facility, and expanding our existing Justice Building. They were always willing to listen to concerns and were sensitive to the county’s conservative spending sensitivity to the county’s conservative fiscal spending."

Ronald J. Robinson

County Commissioner, Kosciusko County, Warsaw, Indiana
