Thomson Correctional Center
- Thomson Correctional Center
Thomson Correctional Center is a maximum security prison located just outside of Thomson, Illinois. The prison does house inmates.
The building of the prison was controversial; early plans suggested using the site of the former Savanna Army Depot, several miles north of Thomson. One of the main reasons the prison was controversial was concern that the prison would have a negative impact on the environment, especially being so close to the Mississippi River.
Thomson Correctional Center has an area of about 146 acres and comprises 15 buildings. There are eight cellhouses with 1,600 total cells. There is an additional minimum security unit with 200 beds.
