The 25th of August 2009, The Illinois Crime reduction Act was signed by the governor Pat Quinn to encourage criminal justice system to take a supportive approach to punishment and crime risk in order to protect public from offenders, respect the rights of inmates and help them to reentry the society. The state provides a full range of services to family and friends of the inmates such as electronic deposit. You may send money ( up to $5000) by Money Gram, Western Union or JPAY. or inmates may also receive money orders ( up to $200 ). Family can mail to offenders but the Illinois Department of Correction doesn't allow any Internet communication. If one of your family member is incarcerated and you need financial support, or child care you can apply for services at the Illinois Department of Human Services. Prison facilities are divided into 4 categories in the state. There are 27 adult correctional centers, 24 for male adult inmates and 3 for female offenders, 7 work camps, 4 reception and classification centers and 7 adult transition centers. Because Crime punishment can not be 'mistake free', Gov. Pat Quinn abolished the death penalty on March 9th 2011 and he also commuted the sentence of all the inmates in death row. |
