Stateville Correctional Center

$0.00

Location: Joliet, IL 

Security Level: Multi-Security 

History: Stateville Correctional Center, opened in 1925, was most recently a multi-security prison housing adult male residents (prior to 2024, it was a maximum-security facility). Stateville is located 45 minutes outside of Chicago in Joliet. It is the parent institution for the Northern Reception & Classification Center (NRC), which receives the majority of men entering IDOC through the northern part of the state. It is also the parent facility for the Stateville minimum-security unit (MSU or farm), which operates on NRC grounds. Along with vocational and basic education courses, Stateville offered postsecondary education programs so incarcerated individuals could obtain a master's, bachelor's, or associate's degree.  The multi-security part of the prison was depopulated (other than those housed in healthcare) by the end of September 2024. The NRC and MSU continue to operate as plans to rebuild Stateville onsite begin.
