Area lawmakers had a meeting this week with the Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections and other members of the DOC staff to discuss the situation with the Vandalia Correctional Center and other correctional centers in the state. The draft plan from the Department of Corrections would consolidate operations at the Vandalia Correctional Center and close “Vandalia Proper” (what most would refer to as the prison) and move operations to “North Zone” (what most would refer to as the Work Camp). Senator Plummer gives his opinion on the meeting.
As Senator Plummer said, they did get some questions answered—but he feels there are still some concerns going forward and they hope to keep this communication going and to potentially get the DOC Director in Vandalia for further conversation.
We will hear more from Senator Plummer on the prison issue coming up tomorrow.
