JHA System-Wide Survey on COVID-19 in IDOC: Initial Results Released

It is critically important that we know and better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the health, safety, and quality of life of people who are incarcerated in Illinois’ prisons. In order to get this information, JHA conducted our first ever system-wide survey.  We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for this project. To date, we have collected 16,236 surveys from people who are incarcerated in IDOC; this represents an astounding 49% response rate. Our INITIAL DATA FINDINGS show that there are areas where practices have been mixed or require improvements.
