I worked in the Illinois Department of Corrections for 20 years. I stand by our vision to provide the safe and protective environment dedicated to seeing women live a drug-free life. I worked for the Illinois Department of Corrections for 20 years, two of which I worked with the Illinois Youth Center St. Charles and 18 with the Fox Valley Adult Transition Center.
