(The Center Square) – With years of safety complaints and incidents within the Illinois Department of Corrections, especially stemming from the Joliet Treatment Center, Illinois lawmakers Tuesday sought answers for how the department intends to improve conditions for inmates. More than 70 fires have been started over the last three years at the center – a low-population facility IDOC describes as a prison for “convicted adult male felons with severe mental illness.” Among the fires were eight cases of prisoners intentionally setting themselves on fire, leading to the death of two inmates according to state records.
