Local Logan County leaders are reacting to the news that the Illinois Department of Corrections will be proceeding with a plan to relocate the Logan Correctional Center.
In a joint Statement State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason), State Rep. Bill Hauter (R-Morton), Logan Board Chair James R. Glenn, and Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch said “ Let’s be clear, this is the wrong move for the correctional system, for the staff of the facilities, for our communities, and for those who reside at Logan.”
They went on to say “ This is one more in a devastating series of blows to hit our community in recent years.”
