IDOC Pauses County Intakes Due To COVID-19 Surge

The Illinois Department of Corrections is temporarily pausing intakes from county jails in response to COVID-19 outbreaks at correctional facilities.  The facilities include the Graham, Logan, Menard and Northern Reception and Classification Centers where county jails transport new admissions.  IDOC is using space normally reserved for new admissions to safely quarantine and isolate inmates who have been exposed or tested positive for the coronavirus.
