located several hundred yards from the men's residence halls. All residents at Vienna will be closely supervised, the director said, and all will be locked in their living quarters at night. This will put both men and women at the Vienna facility for the first time since it was established in 1965. Sielaff said the practice of assigning male and female prisoners to the same institution is not new; several other states, as well as the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, have initiated the plan.

In Illinois three male prisoners from Vienna were' transferred to Dwight and before that, 50 male juveniles were transferred from various institutions for boys to the Illinois State Training School for Girls at Geneva. Behavior improved "Our experience in placing men and women and boys and girls in the same institution has been very successful," Sielaff said. "At Geneva, for example, we found that the boys and girls all behaved better and took more pride in their appearance. And since this program is considered to be a privilege among the residents, nobody wants to mess it up." The 250 men who will be transferred to Dwight will be. carefully screened and handpicked from the agency's other adult male institutions, and most will be ffom communities in central Illinois.

The Dwight center will have about 75 male guards and all will receive training at the department's newly established training academy for correctional personnel in Chicago. Sielaff also suggested that the corrections department may utilize some of the most reliable residents at Dwight for volunteer services in the local area, such as diaster relief. Better treatment Educational program at Dwight will range from remedial work for slow learners to an Associate of Arts program conducted by Joliet Junior College. The degree program will include such fields as culinary arts, auto mechanics and DWIGIIT The Dwight Correctional Center, used as a reformatory for women since it was built in the early 1930s, will bo transformed into a security center for 250 men. The announcement was made today by Allyn R.

Sielaff, director of the Illinois Department of Corrections. Approximately 40 of the women at Dwight will be transferred to the women's division facility at 2600 S. California in Chicago. These arc prisoners who require close supervision and maximum security, Sielaff said. Twenty-five of the women currently assigned to Dwight will be transferred to the department's new work release center for females, which is being established in Chicago at a former rooming house for women at 712 N.

Dearborn. Women participating in the Chicago work release program will be supervised at the facility by a staff of 16 around the Except for the time women are on their jobs.they will be in company of work release center supervisory staff, Sielaff said. To Vienna The remaining 60 female prisoners, all from central and southern Illinois, will be transferred to Vienna1 Correctional Center, a minimum-security facility for males in Johnson County. Women will be housed in a special building set aside for their use which is Arrested on warrant on bad check charge Steven E. Evans, 19, of 1217 Orchard was arrested Monday on a Dec.
