An investigation by the Illinois inspector general’s office into the state’s Department of Corrections employee benefit funds (EBF) revealed that prisoners were improperly put to work at fundraisers led by employees
An investigation by the Illinois inspector general’s office into the state’s Department of Corrections employee benefit funds revealed that prisoners were improperly put to work at fundraisers led by employees.

The IG’s findings became public on Friday, four-and-a-half years after it first began the probe under Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The IG report included one IDOC employee’s views on the use of prison labor for EBF events: “He felt that using inmate labor to raise funds for the EBFs is ‘bad optics,’ ‘bad ethically,’ and ‘bad morally,’” the IG reported. “He added: ‘It’s really hard for me to just honestly stomach the idea that... employees benefit from offender labor.
