Inmates of the Harrison County Indiana Jail have the following activities available to them while incarcerated.
Recreation
The inmates are allowed to walk outside their cell areas in the recreational space. This provides an inside area for bad weather and an outside area when weather permits. Both indoor and outdoor recreation areas are equipped with a basketball goal, where inmates can play horse or other non-defensive games. The indoor recreation area is also equipped with a pull-up bar for inmates to utilize.
Library
The jail library consists of a wide variety of literature. Books from the library are distributed by cart to all inmate cell areas. The facility is in the process of updating the current jail library by accepting donations from various organizations and individuals.
