Media Tours of Prisons Won't Allow Photos or Videos

Posted 2012-10-29 05:58:00 by WMAY News


No Camera or Video Equipment is Prohibited

After months of blocking media access, the Quinn administration now says it will allow reporters to tour Illinois prisons for a first-hand look at conditions inside.

 

But it may still be difficult for the public to get a complete picture.

 

The state Department of Corrections says it will not allow video or audio recording or photographs during those reporter visits.

 

A number of media organizations have been requesting the opportunity to observe the effects of overcrowding on the state’s prisons.
