Prison weapon possession law upheld by court

The Illinois Supreme Court up­ ileld an IIlnois law providing tougher penalties for inmates possessing weapons while in prison on June 10, 1987. The penalty for possession of a weapon or bringing a weapon into a penal facility was increased from a Class 4 felony to a Class 1 felony in June, 1985. The definition of a weapon was expanded at that time to include inmate manufactured weapons or "shanks." Four inmates sentenced under the tougher law from the Menard Correc­ tional Center lost their appeal to the high court challenging the law's constitutionality. The court upheld the law and ruled the four Menard inmates had violated the intent of the law.
