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.

STATE of ILLINOIS INVITATION for BID Illinois Department of Corrections Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Certified Audit Services PBC: 17-105188
STATE OF ILLINOIS INVITATION FOR BID Illinois Department of Corrections Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Certified Audit Services PBC: 17-105188 The Illinois Department of Corrections requests Bids from responsible vendors to meet its needs. A brief description is set forth below for Bidder’s convenience, with detailed requirements in subsequent sections of this solicitation. If interested and able to meet these requirements, the State appreciates and welcomes a Bid. Brief Description: The federal Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 [PREA] was passed by Congress to “address the problem of sexual abuse of persons in the custody of U.S. correctional agencies. PREA calls for Federal, State, and local corrections systems to have a zero-tolerance policy regarding prison rape (as defined by PREA) in prisons, jails, police lock-ups, and other confinement facilities”. [National Institute of Justice, 2014] PREA required the United States Attorney General to publish a final rule adopting national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape. [42 U.S.C. 15607(a)(1)] The U.S. Department of Justice [DOJ] promulgated a final rule through the federal rule making process setting forth the national standards which became effective on August 20, 2012. This final rule is referred to the PREA Standards. The overall goal of IDOC is to meet the compliance requirements of the PREA Standards. The PREA Standards require the Illinois Department of Corrections [IDOC], as a State agency that confines inmates, to ensure that proper and timely audits are conducted using the PREA audit instrument developed by DOJ. The persons conducting PREA audits must be certified by DOJ as having met the required training requirements.
