I caught a blurb on the AOL news this morning that an Illinois prison is being considered to temporarily hold some terrorists from Gitmo (maybe some of the NYC trial bunch temporarily).

The blurb didn't specify what prison it would be other than "it is about 150 miles west of Chicago".

The Marion, Illinois federal pen (where Gotti lived and died) is way south of Chicago. So I doubt if that is it.

Does anyone have any idea if there is a Club Fed west of Illinois?

Maybe AOL was incorrect and it WILL be Marion.

I just had my above post answered on another thread. Looks like it will be a presently-empty prison in the Quad Cities area....although a "town" was not mentioned. It's near the Mississippi River and I believe it's called the "Thompson" prison.....maybe after former Illinois governator, Jim Thompson.

Might be an unincorporated area where there's a very light population.

This is all I have read right now.
