FILE - This Feb. 24, 2012 file photo shows the exterior of the Illinois Youth Center in Joliet, Ill. Efforts to reopen a Joliet youth prison as a facility to treat mentally ill adult inmates have been underway despite claims from Gov. Pat Quinn's administration that extending the temporary income tax increase would be necessary for reopening. Illinois Department of Corrections documents in a story Monday, April 28, 2014, shows the agency is working to reopen the facility and settle a 2007 federal lawsuit claiming the state has failed to address mental illness in a crowded prison system.

This Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2014 photo shows the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles, Ill. According to The John Howard Association, a nonpartisan correctional-system watchdog group, the facility may be violating the constitutional rights of juveniles. The group says the facility employs half the teachers needed and has too few security workers. That limits young people's education because guards are needed to transport youth between classrooms. The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice says they've hired outside experts to improve the facility. (AP Photo/Daily Herald, Rick West) MANDATORY CREDIT, MAGS OUT
