The 216 bed Dearborn County jail was completed in 1991. It was built because the old jail, which was located next to the courthouse, was staying at 120 percent capacity. An addition has since been built.
On December 30, 1929, Sheriff Herman Lange was searching for a suspect in a killing. The suspect had been intoxicated and the two had been arguing. The suspect had fled from the scene, but two other men were arrested. Early on the morning of the thirtieth, Lange saw a man walking between towns. He went up to the man. Once the suspect saw the Sheriff's badge, he shot Lange. Lange was able to wound the suspect, but he still fled. Lange died the next day. The suspect was found in Kentucky and brought back to Indiana. He was convicted of first degree murder and served a little less than fifteen years.
On June 2, 1943, Deputy Sheriff Robert Grubbs went with another deputy to a farm to arrest a tenant that had shot the owner of the farm. When the two deputies pulled up, Grubbs reached for a shotgun in the back. Somehow the shotgun went off and killed Grubbs.
Before 1981, the county sent neglected children to the jail. There was no other place to put them, until a special home was set up for them. This did not mean that they had committed any crimes. The government, on several levels, worked on stopping this from happening.
