Why is it a state run facility run by a handful of employees?????????????????? The inmates cannot get visitors and are locked down because people are too lazy to work and call in ALL the time and they just don't hire enough employees. Lazy employees are known to not let prisoners out because they just don't feel like dealing with it. I come from 8 hours away just to be told visitation is canceled due to not enough employees so now it costs gas money, time off work, hotel, food, roughly $400-500 each visit just to be turned away, DO BETTER ILLINOIS, THIS IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO LEAVE THIS AWFUL STATE, AND, when prisoners have signed up and are doing college classes, make damn sure you have a teacher there for them, 2 weeks without classes because you are short handed??????????? Unacceptable and will be addressed whomever I can get a hold of, write, call, email!!! Start being accountable for yourselves and do better!!! read more

I cannot believe a facility cannot hire enough staff to manage it. This place cancels visits and all due to not enough staff , and puts them on lock down . , they need there visits for there family's and to keep there heads straight .Prisoners get kept in cells for long periods without the care they need, due to not enough staff. Something needs to be done. read more
