Illinois is tearing down old prisons and building two new, modern facilities in Crest Hill — merging the women’s Logan and men’s Stateville prisons — despite local backlash from Lincoln, where residents fear economic loss and job displacement. The move, driven by aging infrastructure and cost-saving efficiencies, will house 800 women and 1,500 men, with room to grow. Construction is slated for five years, with $900 million allocated. Employees will be offered transfer options, and the Lincoln site’s future remains uncertain.
