The proposed $60 million super-maximum prison would house the state's most violent prisoners. It is intended to serve as a detention cen­ ter for inmates who attack prison staff and other prisoners. The legislation also increased the number of inmates eligible for boot camps, expands the number of inmates eligible to serve part of their term through electronic monitoring and allows more inmates a chance to reduce their sentences if they participate in education, drug treat­ ment and jobs programs.

  • The Developmental History of Civil War Prison Camps in Illinois and Indiana
    THE DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY OF CIVIL WAR PRISON CAMPS IN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION By TRAVIS ALLEN RATERMANN ADVISER-FRANCIS PARKER BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2009 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: The Developmental History of Civil War Prisons in Indiana and Illinois. STUDENT: Travis Allen Ratermann DEGREE: Master of Science of Historic Preservation COLLEGE: College of Architecture and Planning DATE: May, 2009 PAGES: 126 Many Civil War properties still exist, though only one prison camp from the western theater is still interpreted and little in the way of research has been conducted on the built environment of these sites throughout the North and the South. Therefore, addressing how the Civil War Prison Camps in Illinois (Camp Butler, Camp Douglas, Rock Island, and Alton Penitentiary) and Indiana (Camp Morton) developed throughout their use by the United State War Department is essential for those studying about Civil War-era prisoner of war camps. Currently, this topic is hidden in published documents regarding the entire site and other stories that may involve the camp. There are only remnants of the built environment that still remain on the original sites such as the small cell wall from the Alton Military Prison in Alton, Illinois. It is interesting to note how the camp developed structurally, through the materials and labor used. This project has the ability to become significant to historians who question why these sites were dismantled shortly after the war’s end and why very few of the structures that were built during this time period remained after the end of the war, especially when dealing with certain construction materials and their lifespan in the open environment.

Members of the General Assembly: The Illinois Department of Corrections prison system currently houses more than 18,500 adult felons. This represents more than a 1,700 increase in inmates from approximately the same time last year. Projections indicate a growth rate equal to 600 inmates per year in the next 10 years. By the end of FY86, the population will exceed 19,000 inmates with no end in sight. Through an unprecedented building program under the leadership of Governor Thompson, and with the generous support of the General Assembly, the Department has kept pace with the unrelenting influx of new inmates. However, we are receiving more violent inmates, and they are sentenced to longer periods.
