History of Chain O’Lakes Community Re-Entry Center

The Chain O’Lakes Community Re-Entry Center is in Noble County, located inside the Chain O’Lakes State Park. The facility was established in 1967 and consisted of one building with a population of 54 incarcerated individuals. Chain O’Lakes now consists of six buildings with a capacity of 140. The facility offers a wide variety of educational and treatment programs to aid each incarcerated individual with his transition back into the community. The facility also provides a variety of work crews throughout northeast Indiana. Work crews help maintain Pokagon State Park, as well as Chain O’Lakes State Park. Crews work closely with the Noble County Surveyor's office, Indiana Department of Transportation and the local community on special projects that range from helping place sandbags during flooding to planting and maintaining flowers around the community.
