Inmate transfers from Tamms prison begin
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois prison officials have started inmate transfers from the high-security Tamms prison in preparation for a Jan. 4 closing date.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said 25 inmates from the "supermax" prison in far southern Illinois are moving Thursday to Pontiac Correctional Center.
That leaves just more than 100 inmates in the single-cell isolation portion of Tamms. Just less than 100 minimum security inmates must move too.
