when & where did the 1st supreme court sit in indiana
Supreme Court of Indiana The Indiana Supreme Court was established in 1816 when Indiana was granted statehood. The new Court replaced the General Court of the Indiana Territory, which consisted of a three-member panel. Housed in a three-room building it shared with the Indiana legislature, the Court held its first session in Corydon on May 5, 1817. Under the state constitution of 1816, the governor appointed justices with the state senate's "advice and consent" for a term of seven years.[19][20]
Indiana Women's Prison The Indiana Women’s Prison was established in 1873 as the first adult female correctional facility in the country.[1] The original location of the prison was one mile (1.6 km) east of downtown Indianapolis. It has since moved to 2596 Girls School Road, former location of the Indianapolis Juvenile Correctional Facility. As of 2005[update] it had an average daily population of 420 inmates,[2] most of whom are members of special-needs populations, such as geriatric, mentally ill, pregnant, and juveniles sentenced as adults. By the end of 2015 the population increased to 599 inmates.[3] Security levels range from medium to maximum.[2] The prison holds Indiana’s only death row for women; however, it currently has no death row inmates.[4] The one woman under an Indiana death sentence, Debra Denise Brown, is being held in Ohio.[5]
