Prison union says budget increase is not enough
Springfield The AFSCME union representing over 12,000 corrections workers says the 2004 budget increase for the Illinois Department of Corrections is insufficient to address staffing. The plan adds 76.3 million to reach 1.2 billion, reopen Sheridan Correctional Center, and hire 60 parole officers, but frontline staffing remains dangerously low and many retirees will not be replaced.
