Indiana Jail Is for Sale - Wed Sep 18, 7:55 AM ET

VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) - Looking for a cozy, 132-bed home with no view and plenty of locks on the doors? Porter County may have a deal for you.

County commissioners plan to sell the old Porter County Jail at auction on Nov. 20.
Sheriff's officers and inmates are moving from the 30-year-old jail in downtown Valparaiso to a new jail, but demolishing the 35,272-square-foot jail could cost as much as $300,000, county officials said. The minimum bid will be $25,000, though Good said it was difficult to determine an asking price for the jail because so few are on the market.

--I would love to buy this and make a home out of it!!
