“No layoffs...no chaos" was the chant from the top of the famous stone sign outside the prison as Stateville employees say they want to see the Illinois reconsider its decision to close this 99-year-old facility.
At a rally today on the grounds of the prison, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees insisted the best course forward is not to close Stateville. “I would like to see Stateville continue to stay open,” said Eugene Washington. “If they are going to rebuild a prison, build a new prison and we will move to the new prison,” he said. We have plenty of space here on the grounds of Stateville.”
