FOIA Goof Exposes Illinois Prison Personnel Records

Government (U.S.) // Illinois, United States

The Social Security numbers and other personal data of Illinois Department of Corrections employees were inadvertently included in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

There is no indication the leaked information has been misused.

The records also included names, ranks, salaries and job duties.

The department personnel work at the Lawrence and Dixon Correctional Centers.
