Illinois hires 135 new correctional officers
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — The Illinois Department of Corrections has hired 135 new correctional officers after the cadets completed six weeks of training.
Department spokeswoman Stacey Solano tells Lee Enterprises newspapers in Illinois (http://bit.ly/QVuIsz ) that the new officers will replace some of the 206 employees who've left the job during the current fiscal year.
Solano says the number of guards leaving is down from the same point last year, when 343 had left.
