IDOC is asking for $161 million in fiscal year 2025 for the project at Stateville and nearly $80 million at Logan; an outside review a year ago found that both prisons were nearly “inoperable” in their current condition. There’s no intent “to repurpose or reuse the current Logan” facility, the department said, and they do not expect any employees to lose their jobs unless they voluntarily choose a layoff.
You mean there are still prisons in Illinois? What possible crime can someone commit to go to jail? Voting Republican???
That is probably a true statement in a blue state!
