MURPHYSBORO — Work is continuing on a former youth detention facility, preparing it to reopen as a repurposed facility for prisoners about to re-enter the community. A Department of Corrections spokeswoman said there is no firm timeline on when the former Illinois Youth Center will reopen as the Life Skills and Re-entry Center. "The Department has not solidified an opening date," spokeswoman Nicole Wilson said in an email. "The department is committed to reducing the prison population and equipping offenders with tools that will help them be successful once they are released from IDOC custody," Wilson continued. "We are working diligently to create staffing plans and develop criteria and curriculum for the offenders who will be eligible to participate in the Life Skills Re-entry Center, located at the former IYC Murphysboro."
