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. The Joliet facility costs taxpayers at least $336,699 per inmate each year, according to the state’s 2025 budget, and lawmakers questioned how the department could improve operations.
