Civic context · where the decisions get made
Where these numbers get debated — and decided.
Justice-system change moves through county councils, sheriff’s offices, sheriff’s merit boards, the Indiana General Assembly, and the executive agencies (IDOC, DMHA, IDOH). SIJ tracks the civic touchpoints that affect the data on this dashboard.
