Gov. J.B. Pritzkerâs executive order on transfers that he extended last month expires Saturday, June 26. Since the beginning of the pandemic, sheriffs havenât been able to transfer inmates to state prisons as they typically could. Despite a lawsuit, the state has begun to transfer some inmates. But Illinois Sheriffsâ Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk said itâs not full steam, and it makes no sense. âIt doesnât take a logistics magician to figure out how to accommodate the measly, letâs say, 2,000 people that are in Illinois jail custody that should be in [Illinois Department of Corrections] when you have a hole of 20,000 people,â Kaitschuk said.
