The Telecommunications Section is
responsible for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of the
telephone, radio, pager, security television and video conferencing
systems for the entire Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC).
During the past fiscal year, the department’s Telecom Unit was
involved in various projects related to facilities closing, finishing
projects under construction and looking at ways to cut departmental
Telecom costs wherever possible.
In an effort to cut back on
Corrections’ cellular costs, IDOC Telecom initiated an effort to
review all cell phones and cell phone usage. The result of the
analysis was a savings of approximately $19,000 per year to the agency.
The Telecom Unit, working with MIS
staff, installed the entire fiber optic backbone between all of the
buildings within the Northern Reception and Classification Center.
This backbone included a 3,900-foot fiber link to Stateville
Correctional Center, installation of all Ethernet switches and
termination of fiber optic and level seven data cable.
Other correctional centers where
fiber optic cable and level seven data cable were installed were
Pinckneyville Correctional Center, Dwight Correctional Center,
IYC-Harrisburg, IYC-Warrenville, IYC-Chicago, Decatur Correctional
Center, Vandalia Correctional Center, Southwestern Illinois
Correctional Center and IYC-Kewanee.
In addition to data-related
projects, numerous additions and moves of telephones and telecom
equipment were completed at multiple locations statewide. All telecom
and data projects completed “in house” by Telecom staff
resulted in a substantial fiscal savings to the department and a
greater level of service provided to end-users.
Telecom staff served on the ISTAR
Committee and planned for possible IDOC participation in the Illinois
State Police/State of Illinois STARCOM 21 project. IDOC radio
personnel in Joliet, Springfield and Vienna continued self
maintenance of more than 9,000 portable radios, 1,200 mobile radios
and more than 60 base stations, including more than 3,000 Motorola,
800 MHz trunking portable radios. Radio personnel also managed the
statewide Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) contract for the department,
providing technical assistance and oversight to institutions wishing
to use this contract.
New digital closed circuit camera
equipment has been installed at Tamms, Shawnee, Dixon, Hill and
Stateville Correctional Centers. Spare CCTV equipment from Thomson
Correctional Center was redeployed and installed at IYC-Pere
Marquette, Decatur ATC and Peoria ATC.
