Blagojevich plans prison expansion -- Sheridan center would hold 200 more inmates
By DOUG FINKE STATE CAPITOL BUREAU

A nearly $12 million addition to the newly reopened Sheridan Correctional Center will be part of the state construction budget Gov. Rod Blagojevich unveils this week.  Since it reopened in January, Sheridan, in La Salle County, has specialized in treating prisoners with drug problems.  The addition will house 200 beds for inmates who have successfully completed the first 12 months of their treatment at the facility, according to an administration source who spoke on condition of anonymity. There will be just one inmate per cell.
    The total cost of the addition is $11.75 million, but the administration expects federal money to cover about $9 million of that. If the General Assembly approves the project, construction could start in September and be completed in five months.
    Sheridan was a medium-security prison when then-Gov. George Ryan ordered it closed in 2002 to save money. During his campaign for governor that year, Blagojevich pledged to reopen the prison, one of La Salle County's largest employers, if elected.   It did reopen, but not as a standard state prison. Sheridan houses inmates who volunteer to complete a drug-treatment program. Drug abuse is a leading reason ex-convicts end up back in prison.  Sheridan is supposed to incorporate the best drug-treatment approaches from around the country in one facility. There are 500 inmates at the prison, with another 50 added each week. When the prison is fully operational, it will house 1,300 inmates.
    Sheridan targets offenders in need of drug treatment who are projected to serve six to 24 months behind bars. They undergo intensive drug treatment, counseling and vocational education. Upon their release, they participate in a closely monitored community re-entry and supervision program involving a parole agent and re-entry team.

        Ottawa FD "dispatch' freq 154.190 (pl unknown - by me)  but they don't "dispatch" on it.  (send co's from house).   Ottawa FD "Secondary" 
154.130.  ( Gee Chicago folks, that sounds familiar doesn't it?) -  simplex ops AFAIK.
        Re 155.610, this used to be the everybody LaSalle  County PDfreq, and most PD's still have it in their cars.  I think Oglesby still
uses it as primary, and probably others    Sorry, no PL info - I don't have a PL capable scanner
ADD Ottawa River Rescue - 155.400    (Volunteer organization - respondsto marine searches, emergencies from about Morris to about Hennepin)
        As reported on this list several times, LaSalle Sheriff main working (dispatch) is Clear Talk trunked system.  The VHF "primary",
155.700, is used almost as much,  repeater system with 159.030 input.   Sheriff "secondary"  155.145 is simplex. 
        Also add LaSalle County Highway Dept - 453.825  now little used,and Cleartalk  TG 10928
        Ottawa IDOT HQ - 47.02 base/47.10 mobiles.   Heard bridge inspection crew using this freq on handheld units a few weeks ago
inspecting Seneca IL rte 170 bridge.  Busy during snow.   This is large area HQ and maint garage with  BIG tower on US 6 just west of Fox River,
E edge of Ottawa.  Also 2 band HF dipole antenna visible on roof of building, but don't know what freq's are used.

The Ottawa FD doesn't appear to be dispatched over the air at all. The only clue that they were running something was when the Ottawa medics would come up on MERCI to advise CHO they were outbound on a call.

I copied some fire traffic on this frequency I had listed as "Spring Valley FD"...
