Jail "Consolidation"
- Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart will be closing its oldest jail building on the South Side of Chicago while placing all female inmates in one renovated building.
Dart said Friday he'll start closing Division 1 of the jail campus at 27th Street and California Avenue on Feb. 8. It's a maximum-security building and the oldest on the campus, opened in 1929. The inmates there will be spread among the remaining buildings.
And beginning Monday, the primary female divisions -- Division 3 and Division 17 -- will shut down, with all the women moved to Division 4, which had been temporarily closed and undergoing renovations for the past two years.
How much of the jail is closed now?
- With the three buildings' closures, four Cook County jail buildings will no longer house inmates. Division 5 shut down about two years ago.
And here's an amusing little aside:
- More than 2,300 men and women are now assigned to electronic monitoring, up from an average of about 520 in 2009.
Four times the previous number, resulting a record high of inmates that Dart has no fucking idea where they are. Some sheriffs have commented that nearly 400 inmates cannot be accounted for at all. It makes everyone wonder if this might be a contributing factor to the sky high shooting numbers.

It's the guns' fault not unaccounted inmates, everyone knows it's the availability of guns and not the POS behind the gun.
Yes because they are probably turning them into fed prisons to throw as many cops in there as they can, for just looking at a gang banger!!!
Dirt rather have them on home arrest. He should just close the jail down. More Democrat rule.
It is the Fox-Butterfield effect in reverse.
They cannot understand why crime is up, when the jail is empty?
The thugs are probably safer if they were kept in the jail.
The neighborhood would be safer too.
With fewer prisoners wouldn't they need fewer deputies?
What are these deputies doing?
Just goes along with the modern trend to not incarcerate people of color. Let them roam free instead of locking them up.
Dart through EM an State Senator Bill Cunningham through Rocket Docket legislation has released over 4000 inmates in 2015. That's a fact.. No doubt they are some of these guys commiting these shootings.
Leave Dart alone. Thugs back on the street is a good thing and helps the "Jackass "totals.
Did you vote for Prickwrinckled? If you did, you voted for this. Enjoy the city and county you created.
Little Tommy' s home monitoring system reminds me of Where's Waldo.
Electronic monitoring. So they can sit up at the crib and smoke blunts all fucking day long.
True.
Dart is a piece of shit, bottom line!
Sounds like people should file suit when one of these goof ESCAPE from their lovely town-homes and pistols whip them for their Iphone.
The sanctuary city rulers who are also in charge of the courts, prosecution and police oversight have gladly stopped prosecuting violators of our laws and have even redefined crime. Now they gleefully release as many incarcerated offenders as possible while trying harder to restrict the rights and obligations of law abiding citizens to defend themselves and their families. Gonna be hell to pay!
Who has the electronic monitoring contract?
Dart says: "Yeah, but see, see, see? We have closed down some of our jails because 'Crime Is Down'."
Works sort of like the national unemployment numbers. If you stop counting them they don't exist.
Crook County DOC will soon have the "time out box" home monitoring system. Offenders serving time can do it from the comfort of their home. They will simply be directed to sit in corner for at least 25 min each day and log that time into an automated phone system. It will all be based on the honor system of course. Regular check in by probation officers will continue via "face time" on phone . Think of the savings. And no more pesky ankle bracelets.
Conspiracy Theorist. Ever think Tommy may be trying to push up the crime numbers to make Emanuel look bad.
The only "home monitoring" that he knows about, is the squad and sheriff he has sitting on his house 24/7.

No.
How is it that Tom Dart keeps getting voted in. The pitchfork and torch crowd stormed the castle on stroger junior. We all clearly see the corruption in the county and city...how in the fuck does this shit go on for years!? Illinois jailed two governors amongst others like Betty Maltese ..x...mayor of Cicero...and you all saw Jesse junior and his wife plea bargan. How do so many political types keep getting away with years of this shit? And I'm talking about the ones that spread obvious misery over many years. But yet they stay in office....

Honestly, the guys is a shameless media whore at every chance he can get. Weather it's doing surveillance on grave yard crimes or bringing yoga classes to his inmates. He's a bullshit artist of the highest order. All smoke and mirrors for the news media. The real issues, jail recidivism rate, safety conditions of his officers working in that hellhole, lost inmates, cloute promoting , etc.. are all swept under the rug. Yeah, cops and people who work in this field know he's a joke of a "sheriff" but most people don't. They're not that informed and don't really care who's in charge as sheriff. And it looks like he won't be losing his spot anytime soon in this soft on crime hug a thug society we're living in.
Remember he's a slick lawyer who knows how to evade liability just like someone else we know...
Ed Burke Jr for Cook County Sheriff. He has the $$$ to run for Election and experience to do the job the way it should be done.
So it really wont matter when nobody shows up for work on Monday. The day after the Superbowl.

LOLOLOL Ya nice one. You obviously don't know him. Burke has 10 times more skeletons in the closet than he does money. Not to mention the intelligent factor.

Tom Dart is the son of Richard J Daleys' bag man and a 19th ward hack.Little Tommy received the finest education including law school on the money dad "made".Clouted in to the States Attorney office,clouted in to a State reps job and then given a do nothing spot in the Sheriffs office by Sheahan when he was a failure at the first two. No ethics,honor, etc. anywhere in Tom,it was never a requirement after Dad made the phone call. The people around him have nothing good to say about him,and his employees walk the other way when they see him coming. The emptying of the jail is two fold,first it builds that strong liberal aura of the man of the people (folks) at election time.Second and most important,ask Dart where the tax payers money budgeted to staff,maintain etc. those divisions has gone and while you're at it ask Dart why there is no money for Officers,equipment,training,paper clips or anything else but plenty for those ever increasing political hack/relatives of the media/community organizer jobs with made up exempt titles such as Director,asst. Director and asst.to the asst. Director, and of course new take home cars for all while the Officers drive death traps. (look at his budget to see the dozens of shady jobs Dart has created and who has them). Sound familiar CPD ? Yes the great unkept,messy haired slob Sheriff is just another entitled child of a corrupt politician who has been spoon fed his entire life and can talk out of both sides of his mouth while stealing with both hands....sound familiar citizens of Chicago,Cook County,Illinois ?

Sound like you have been in the game for a while.
Spoken like so many political HACKS that had "their guy" in power and now lost it. Don't be pissed because you now have to work for a living and are not getting a handout. Cry to someone else because when "your guy" was in I am positive you did enough rape and pillaging to last a lifetime. I bet you are a south side irish F$#k and live in the ward.

Nice try,wish I could give you at least one correct but I'm not your mom. Never did politics,the only person I call "my guy" is my Grandson and he's two,grew up on the north side and the peeps came from Italy. No apology for knowing the history of Chicago,keeping my eyes and ears open and checking the back ground of those that want my vote. I would suggest everybody do the same.You seem educated on how the "hacks" operate and appear versed in the game of "MY GUY is a Saint,youse are just mad because your guy is out". If you and the family are beholden to Dart,God bless,we all have to eat, but don't deny that my bio on little Tommy is correct in every way (My apology,you didn't deny any of it did you ?)Now go try your Cops are at fault for crime,vast right wing conspirousy against Hillary etc.deflection BS on somebody who might fold.When you have a moment,research the name Sal Alinsky, he invented the game of deflection your masters have taught you, and no Sal didn't beat my guy in the last election...... XOXO a north side dago who has worked a "real job" from day one.
