INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police detectives are investigating after a male inmate at the Marion County Jail was found having sex with a female inmate. Administrators confirmed to I-Team 8 that the male inmate was “mistakenly” put in the female’s cell.
The male inmate, whose identity has not been confirmed by the department, was placed in a cell block inside the jail by a guard around 5 p.m. on Wednesday after returning from a court appearance, Marion County Chief Deputy Eva Talley-Sanders told I-Team 8. That cell block contained 15 individual cells, one of which was occupied by a female inmate who had been moved into the block after the male inmate was taken to court.
The deputy who placed the male inmate in the cell block said he “did not see” that a female inmate was occupying one of the cells, jail administrators said.
