cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19078400 >A federal ruling that came down two weeks ago ordering Illinois prison officials to empty the decrepit facility by Sept. 30 seems to have resulted in abrupt transfers from Stateville, despite what educators have said were assurances from the Illinois Department of Corrections that students and alumni from the same education programs would be allowed to move together. > >In March, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced the state’s plan to close and rebuild Stateville, along with Logan Correctional Center, a women’s prison, due to conditions such as polluted water and crumbling buildings. > >Despite its poor physical infrastructure, Stateville hosts five college programs and has some of the most robust programming of any prison in the state due to its proximity to Chicago. > >About 30 students and alumni were on the list to be moved to Hill Correctional Center in downstate Galesburg – including Matthews – in order to stay with the Prison+Neighborhood Arts/Education Project. But Executive Director Arianna Salgado said Matthews and seven others were among those shipped to other facilities across the state this week. The nonprofit group, which works with Northeastern Illinois, started a petition on Wednesday asking the governor to stop the transfers. > >“We’ve been advocating with IDOC for a group of our students to be able to move with us to the next facility that we end up at,” Salgado said. “We got the notification on Monday that several of our students were scheduled to be transferred this Thursday...to an institution that’s approximately five hours and more away from the City of Chicago.” Archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20240826163136/https://www.wbez.org/criminal-justice/2024/08/22/abrupt-transfers-for-stateville-prisoners-begin-as-officials-rush-to-comply-with-a-federal-court-ruling

Has anyone tried any? Are they real psylocibin?
Gotta be honest I'm a little disappointed, i havent seen a one
I've lived here for years and years and I'm sure you've all seen rent and food prices going up, now sure, that's a country wide thing but Illinois has one of the highest tax rates in the country. Me and my girlfriend are just trying to get our lives together and even while working a stable, okay paying job were struggling a lot. Does anyone who has been in a similar situation know if there's a state not too far away that would be better for us? My girlfriend is trying to get into the theater management business so closer to an urban area is better but I have no such restrictions. Any help is appreciated

A law abolishing cash bail will take effect in Illinois on Sept. 18. The change makes Illinois the first state to eliminate the practice and a nationally watched testing ground for whether such a change can work.
Nearly $100 this time. Add that to the over $400 from Facebook, and all thanks to this Great State's law's protecting privacy. It does irk my wife some though, because we can't teach our nest cam that it's just me getting the mail and we don't need the notifications.
R. Buckminster Fuller, creator of the buckyball, was a professor at SIU in Carbondale in the 1960's. At that time, he built and lived in a large buckyball home, which has been restored and will soon be a museum to the man and his legacy.
A small town in southern Illinois reaches racial parity in their city council makeup, with a black mayor and equal number of black and white members. Oh, and they also have an openly trans council member as well... This from a part of the state where some people still fly Confederate battle flags.

!illinois@midwest.socialLand of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.
Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.
