ShookRemark: The state prison at Michigan City, LaPorte County, Indiana, was originally referred to as State Prison West. The first prison for the state was located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, which was referred to as State Prison East.The Indiana State Prison in Michigan City dates to 1859 when the state appropriated $50,000 for the construction of a new prison. The following year, 100 acres of land was purchased in Michigan City for the sum of $4,500. The first building to be erected at the site was called the Temporary Prison Building, a 200-foot long red brick structure. Numerous structures were added on the prison grounds through the 1920s.Executions in Indiana for state crimes are carried out at this prison. Executions taking place through 1913 were done by hanging. From 1914 through 1994, death sentences were carried out by electrocution. Lethal injection became the standard method of execution in 1995.One of the most notable prisoners of this facility was John Dillinger, who was released on parole in 1933.Copyright 2018.
