Report finds Logan, Pontiac and Stateville prisons nearly inoperable – NPR Illinois

The final report from a consulting firm hired by the state included a list of more than $2.5 billion in overdue repairs in Illinois’ 27 prison facilities; the existing price tag of “deferred maintenance” could double in five years if unaddressed. Pontiac specifically has $235 million in needed repairs, as well as the highest operational cost of $65,800 per inmate, double the agency’s average, according to the report.
