Union representing Thomson prison calls for removal of warden over inmate conduct

The union representing correctional officers and staff at a northwest Illinois prison are calling for the removal of the facility’s warden. The union contends that the warden has failed to address allegations of sexual assaults and misconduct against employees at the Thomson federal prison. A release alleges that there were 321 incidents in 2022 of inmates engaging in sexual misconduct against staff at the high-security federal prison that houses about 800 prisoners.
