Logan and Stateville CC Rebuilds
In March 2024, Governor JB Pritzker and IDOC announced plans to dedicate capital funds to rebuild Logan and Stateville Correctional Centers, addressing critical infrastructure needs at both facilities. Governor Pritzker's proposed FY25 capital budget included $900 million in new funds to rebuild these facilities. These investments underscore Illinois' unwavering commitment to implementing modernized and secure correctional environments while taking a fiscally responsible approach to address aging infrastructure.
In devising and executing this plan, the Department recognizes the importance of engaging impacted stakeholders to help ensure the success of this initiative and intends for this to be an open process in which stakeholders are considered.
We understand that this news may create uncertainties and questions, but IDOC is committed to keeping our staff, individuals in custody, and communities informed as we move forward with this rebuild. We will provide updates regularly throughout this process.
A preliminary injunction has been entered in Dobbey et al., v. Weilding et al., USDC-NDIL Case No. 13-1068, a class action regarding the structural condition of the Stateville buildings. The court issued the following order:
- The Illinois Department of Corrections must transfer all individuals in custody (except those housed in Stateville’s Healthcare Unit) from Stateville by September 30, 2024.
- The Illinois Department of Corrections must provide the court with periodic updates on the progress of these transfers.
