Many countries make use of truth in sentencing or rather incarcerating criminals for committing criminal activities. Jail has always been the form of incarceration in every county. Overcrowding in the county jail had several undesirable effects upon the inmates. According to Stojkovic, Kalinich, & Klofas (2015) “Overcrowded prison system, in turn, will often force decision makers to lower the the classification of higher-risk inmates in order to find available bed space” (p. 350)”. The heuristic fact is that overcrowding prison tend to produce aggression, competition for the limited available resource, increased incidents of sickness, increased likelihood of relapse into criminal behavior and higher rates of suicide. According to Wagner (2016) “To combat that issue, more than 50 inmates are sleeping in cells in different counties across Indiana. 44 of them are in Elkhart County, the rest are scattered in other counties” (para. 6). Generally, overcrowding creates stress in conjunction with other negative factors within the jail setting which can increase the adverse impacts of overcrowding. The inability to maintain identity, fear, idleness, or to rather turn unwanted stimulation and interaction, may contribute to the stress
