PLAN TO DOUBLE-BUNK INMATES CRITICIZED
SECTION: METRO DU PAGE; Pg. 3; ZONE: D
LENGTH: 94 words
The Mental Health Association in Illinois and the Prison Action Committee Thursday urged the Illinois Department of Corrections to call off plans to double-bunk inmates at the Menard Psychiatric Center.
Under the proposal, the department would place two inmates in a 47.9-square-foot cell containing two bunks
and a toilet.
"If you can come up with a better way to do this, understanding the fact that we are 162 percent of capacity
without double-celling, I'm willing to listen to you," said Nic Howell, spokesman for the Department of Corrections.
