Ed is Nearby
The Federal Bureau of Prisons seems to have kept Burke in Illinois:
Former Chicago Ald. Ed Burke, the longest-serving alderman in city history, was booked into prison on Monday and subsequently began serving a two-year sentence on corruption charges.
Burke, 80, was expected to report to the minimum security camp at the Federal Correctional Institution in Terre Haute, Indiana, but those plans appeared to change at the last minute.
The former alderman was instead lodged at a federal minimum security camp in Thomson, Illinois, a village of around 500 residents in the far northeast corner of the state. A village in Carroll County, Thomson is 48 miles northwest of Moline.
If anyone is interested in sending Ed some fan mail, there's an entire page on how to do so at this link here. But the basic info is:
- Edward Burke No. 53-698-424FCI ThomsonFEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION SATELLITE CAMPP.O. BOX 1002

Sleep well!
Hey Ed, I dropped my soap. Can you bend over for me and pick it up?
Don't drop the soap Ed....
Does the news media ever verify what they write? The article says that Thomson, IL is in the "northeast" of the State of Illinois.
A check of the map shows it is in the northwest of the state.
Aside from that, are O'hare and Midway units hosting a fund-raiser for Burke, who got most of them their jobs. How often do you see bid openings there for POs or sergeants? It was rumored at one time Burke alone decided who got the management spots there, and when bids did come up, you needed 25 plus years to get there. (There were some exceptions though).
Fan mail!!!!! 😆😆😆😆
Can the ISP please sweep his house for ..."guns"...and grab his FOID. Also remind the "judge"...about felons and firearms.
Northwest would be in Iowa. It's up near Savanna.
Any chance SCC is gonna host a 10-1 benefit for Eddy seeing as how is former CPD? Lol
I believe this should say far Northwest corner of the state.
Does he keep his pension?
northwestern corner - around Galena... too nice for that scheister
Fast Eddie ain’t so fast anymore.
Thomson will welcome the big tuna with open arms. He will be out by May 2026 if the food doesn't kill him first.
Thomson, Illinois, a village of around 500 residents in the far northeast corner of the state ---- I think you mean Northwest corner. :O

Leaving the police department for work for Pepsi..You need your head examined
You’re one of the idiots who makes this job their whole personality
Investigative Reporter Chuck Goudie didn’t look happy, making his usual try at being-so-dramatic report direct from Terra Haute-when in fact Thomson, Illinois was the place to be. Hey Cuck, this one’s for you🖕🏻
Another reporter was at the Burke residence ar noon, anxiously waiting for some good family footage, to exit. But no one exited as they were already out there.
Lots of egg on media faces worn during a long, empty handed and disappointing ride back to Chicago!
Somebody do a well Being check on Pat Golden
Proud South Side Irish and my two uncles became sergeants. My dad became a captain. Thanks to Alderman Burke. If you took care of him, he took care of you. That's "the Chicago way".
Henry Hill and Big Paulie are waiting for him with a spaghetti dinner, freshly baked Italian bread and the finest red wines to wash it down with. Paulie knows how to shave the garlic with a razor blade so it liquefies when you put it in the frying pan with the sossage....
I'm surprised they didn't call it the "northwest side" of Chicago.
Could the new location in Thomson, Illinois be a shorter jaunt for Mrs. Eddie’s visits than Terre Haute? Imagine that scene where Anne Burke former chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court sits in the visitors’ room to pass the time with her convict husband Eddie Burke.
Sadly....There will be money donated to Eddie. Now would be a good time to launder all the money he has in shoe boxes and safe deposit boxes.
That list of donations ought to be cross referenced to any future promotions list to determine whether Burke is still running the show from inside the joint.
06-09-22 Durbin Slams BOP Mismanagement, Allegations of Abuse at USP Thomson - Calling for Reform Minded Director. Maybe Ed's got a new gig - reform from the inside out. You may want to hold up on $$ to his smokes account.
(OT) looks like this morning between 5 and 8 AM. They hit the West End of eight pretty heavily carjackings armed robberies. They are going everywhere we have to stay alert. Obviously the tagline detectives are investigating. No one in custody will be used. We all have to remember if we cannot protect the neighborhoods we live in the people will move and also remember that we are stuck here. As long as we are on this job residency will never change so best thing to do is make sure we watch out for each other watch out for our neighbors and watch our neighborhoods.
his wife said she will still except those "envelopes" for those wishing to be promoted and hopes that streets and sanitation still plows the snow on her street 3 times a day
I think he should be getting some " Thinking about you" cards in the mail. What a wonderful person he was..... ops.... is. LOL FartFace. I think that scoul on his face is going to get worse overtime he gets in the food line and when his keepers tell him do do stuff.
Totally off topic. Watching a business show today, Dave Rubenstein, investor guy/author, related that the Chinese charge a two million dollar a year rental fee to zoos that they allow to display PANDA Bears. What? This makes the Chicago Way seem like chump change.
Why didn’t he appeal? At his age that could put it off for years
(OT) everyday another interview about the illegal criminals that brandon has let into this city with open arms,and opened the taxpayers checkbooks when the gangsters start to do what they do hopefully they will put some of these illgals where they belong into a dirt nap. Hmm what was going on with the multiple robberies this morning with hispanic looking offenders? Could they be the gangs let out of prison in their third world countries that Brandon showing how weak and cowardly he is let in?: https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-chicago-gangster-blames-vp-harris-dems-turf-war-between-local-gangs-venezuelas-tren-de-aragua
Which one..?
He deserves to be at hard labor for his crimes against this city...
And Thomson is 48 miles northEAST of Moline.
Even TV "journalists" should know that the far northeast of Illinois is Chicagoland, and that northwest of Moline is Iowa.
Just a Civilian (whose compass is not broken, unlike NBC Chicago)
so jcat is now the publisher of flop magazine getting an extra 70k of income no wonder he's taking all those trips this guy didn't even have a passport before becoming flop president!! keep voting him and his cronies like lonegran in and watch how they bankrupt your union!
Can he go apple picking? Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Goudie should have been at Stateville on the lookout for Gacy.
Tommy Lonergan LOL! A Policeman LOL! A Empty Holstered Boot Licker And
Union Lackey. Had More Hiding Time In The Academy Then The Hay Market Square Statue.
According to jcat they call Lonergan Lumpy from leave it to beaver show
Jcat nicknamed Lonergan Lumpy from leave it to beaver show
That's the moniker for Vrodylak
Jcat calls Lonergan “Lumpy” behind his back. Wake up Tom he ain’t your guy!
Because that what was part of his deal, no appeal means best sentence
Tomlin? Like the Steelers coach?
The prison is Thompson Ill'. Not tomlin.and it is a hellhole and is more than minimum!!
Thanks, now I know where to send these old Burger King paper crowns
Gacy’s dead, dipshit.
Did he take his "City car" and driver with him ? I hear it's parked at the entrance to the federal country club just in case he wants to have a night out with diner and drinks. Oh, did he take his green tie with him ? It would match his jail outfit.
Nonsense! There's only 1 Lumpy. He is a true hero. That would be the one, the only, Retired Det RR, homicide detective at Area 5. Hope your enjoying retirement Lumpy.
Well it should not be long before Burke has to see the doctor because of an illness that will have his lawyer petetioning for a compassionate release because of some trumped up cancer or heart condition. Every thieving politician pulls this crap.
Remember that as George Ryan was reporting to his prison "club" vacation, he was asked if he was sorry. He replied "Hell no, I'm not sorry, I'm not guilty of anything..."
I have to believe Ed Burke feels similarly...
