Illinois department of corrections
The Pontiac Correctional Center is located in Pontiac, Illinois and was established in June 1871. It has a maximum security unit (Level 1), a medium security unit(Level 3), a condemned unit, a orientation unit, a protective custody unit and a south mental health unit. It has the capacity to hold 1,058 males inmates but due to increase crime rates in the last decade, the average daily prison population is around 1,660 (an average of 602 extra inmates). It holds death row inmates but inmates are executed at the Tamms Correctional Center, since the prison has no execution chamber.
From 1872 to 1893 it was originally a boys' reform school but was then established as the State Reformatory. What became the administrative offices used to be the buildings of the reform school. " cell houses were created. One was a 4-tier cell house holding 296 cells each of which measured 8'3" x 7'x 8'. The other was 5-tiers housing 500 cells measuring 8'x5'x 8'. The cells had iron bars in the front and containing a cot or spring bed, a stool and locker. In 1929, the ratio was approximately 1guard :25 inmate for a population of 57 guards and 1,405 inmates. In 1931, an additional cell house with 440 cells on 5 tiers was created. In this cell house, there were two men to each 8'x10'x8' cell sharing a bunk bed, a cabinet, a desk and outlet for a radio. With the new cell houses, the prison population increased to 2,504 inmates with 150 guards or approximately 1 guard per 17 inmates. The prison housed 2,504 inmates (1,959 white, 535 black, 10 other).
Inmates were allowed to buy candy, toiletries weekly, receive newspapers and magazines from the publisher, buy tobacco but could only smoke in their cells at specified times. Relatives were allowed to visit once a month on any day except Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holidays. Inmates were allowed to write letters twice a month, once to a friend and once to a parent. A married prisoner was permitted to write every week.
If the rules were broken, punishments ranges from privileges taken away for 10 to 30 days to confinement cells with nothing but a slice of bread to eat every morning for 3 to 8 days, for the worse violations.
As cruel as these punishments may seem, they won`t stop conflicts and violence from happening. On July 22, 1978, one of the worse and deadliest riots broke out involving over 1,000 inmates. It began around 9:45 in the morning while 600 prisoners were returning to the cell house on the north end of the prison from the recreational yard. Armed with shanks, prisoners attacked officers inside the cell house. According to investigators, prison gangs directed the attack to challenge Warden Thaddeus Pinkey. Soon after the local police and state police arrived and fired eight rounds of tear gas into the prison yard, prisoners set buildings on fire causing the other prisoners to get involved. After many hours, the troops got all inmates back into their cells. A lieutenant, William Thomas, and two correctional officers, Robert Conkle and Stanley Cole, were killed while three correctional officers, Danny Dill, Dale Walker and Sharon Pachet, were injured.
