Sheriffs around Illinois are still at odds over the state accepting inmates who should be in the Department of Corrections. Wabash County Sheriff Derek Morgan told county commissioners last week that the local jail is still holding two inmates who should have been transferred to prison. He said he hadn’t heard anything from the state since November regarding any change in the policy that the DOC instituted last year because of COVID concerns that blocked the inmates from being taken to a state institution. The only contact Morgan said has taken place regarded an inmate who was picked up a DOC parole violation. The policy has kept the inmates in the local jail at the expense of the county. Morgan said about 75% of sheriffs around Illinois are reporting similar issues with the DOC.
