Stateville Prision [City of Crest Hill]

Leaders from the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) detailed their plans to close and rebuild the Stateville and Logan County prisons with changes set to be made as soon as this fall. 

IDOC is pushing an aggressive timeline to complete the entire project within three to five years, but in addition to concerns that IDOC is underestimating how long the project will take, IDOC employees and local officials are worried about the impacts of IDOC’s proposal to eliminate the Logan prison entirely.
