Sheriffs across Illinois are still having issues transferring convicted criminals from county jails to state prisons, despite decreased prison population and the state’s COVID-19 capacity limits being lifted.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, sheriffs haven’t been able to transfer prisoners to state prisons as they typically could. Despite a lawsuit, the state has begun to transfer some prisoners.
But Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk said it’s not full steam, and it makes no sense.
“It doesn’t take a logistics magician to figure out how to accommodate the measly, let’s say, 2,000 people that are in Illinois jail custody that should be in [Illinois Department of Corrections] when you have a hole of 20,000 people,” Kaitschuk said.
Gov. J.B. Pritzkerâs executive order on transfers that he extended last month expires Saturday, June 26.
