    People experiencing homelessness could spend up to 60 days in jail for camping on public land under a bill moving through the Indiana House. State lawmakers already rejected a bill this session that would have done the same thing. But that language has been added as an amendment to Senate Bill 197, which deals with unsafe buildings. If the bill becomes law, it would be a Class C misdemeanor to use public land for long-term shelter. Along with jail time, a person could face a fine of up to $500.

    Patrick Chavis IV slips quietly into his small office at the back of a courtroom on a recent Wednesday morning. Outside his door in the Lawrence Township Small Claims Court, renters facing eviction walk to a podium in front of the judge. There, they’ll admit that they’re behind on rent. Most will have three weeks to get caught up or move out. But inside Chavis’ office, renters have a chance at finding a middle ground.

    A national organization specializing in urban land use will guide the future of the former Indiana Women’s Prison site. The city hired the Urban Land Institute to evaluate potential uses for the 15-acre piece of land on Indianapolis’ near east side. The site has been vacant since 2017 and was under the control of the Indiana Department of Administration. Residents in surrounding neighborhoods — including Willard Park and Woodruff Place — have been calling for redevelopment of the site.
