Prison-site tour ends with final two bids
Corrections Director Michael Lane wrapped up his Illinois prison site tour in Carrollton and Hardin, Greene and Calhoun counties. About 200 residents urged Greene County be chosen citing hopeful economic gains, while a critic warned of deterioration and security shifts. Lane will compile hearings data for Governor Thompson and a funding bill, with a 750 bed facility expected to create about 425 jobs.
