JHA Testimony in Support of the SFY 2021 Proposed IDOC Budget to the House Appropriations

On March 4th, JHA submitted testimony to the Illinois House Appropriations—Public Safety Committee calling attention to the lack of rehabilitative programming and treatment available to most people incarcerated in Illinois’ adult prisons as well as the impact of decaying prisons upon living conditions. JHA called on the Illinois legislature to adequately resource the Department of Corrections (IDOC) and to allow IDOC to better utilize its resources so that it can operate prisons that are safe and humane rehabilitative settings.
