(La Porte, IN) - Construction at the La Porte County Complex will be hindering jail visits temporarily.

Extensive work is still underway to rehab office damage done by a flood last December. According to the Sheriff’s Department, workers are erecting a tunnel from the building’s south entrance down the hallway to the main lobby, while rehab efforts continue in that area of the building. This will allow for public access to the front desk of the Sheriff’s Department. Normal operations will continue during regular business hours, and people can still post inmate bond 24/7.

However, on-site inmate visitation will be suspended during this brief phase of construction. The Sheriff’s Department expects the halt to in-person visits to last about a week.
