CREST HILL – Prisoners at an Illinois Department of Corrections intake facility are living among mice, rats, roaches and other insects, have seen feces in the kitchen and are forced to eat rotten food among other issues, according to a lawsuit filed this week by a detainee at the far southwest Crest Hill facility.
The NRC, a temporary “reception” center for prisoners before they are sent to other IDOC facilities, is “riddled with vermin and coated in hazardous mold,” according to the suit.
