(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A former Pontiac Correctional Center warden is accused of turning a blind eye to pranks — including one that led to harassment of an employee, according to a newly released report.
The employee no longer works at the prison, after they filed a complaint and had multiple transfer requests denied.
An Executive Inspector General report found several corrections administrators engaged in unbecoming behavior and the office recommended discipline or firing.
It started in October of 2018, when officials said Lt. Adrian Corley told an officer, who was writing up an inmate for misconduct, to include an explicit drawing on a fake form he created — and then shared it widely with staff.
The IG’s report that was issued two years later said the underling was then subjected to hazing and harassment based on his perceived sexual orientation.
Among the instances of harrassment outlined in the report were anti-gay slurs directed at the employee, phone calls, and graffiti.
It accused Warden Terri Kennedy of mismanaging the prison. She retired before any action was taken against her, while two assistant wardens and Lt. Corley were eventually fired.
