A DeWitt County law enforcement official is expressing his support for the Logan County Correctional Center.

The Logan Correction Center faces the possibility of being torn down and rebuilt outside Logan County. DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker says Logan Correction Center is one of the few female intake centers in the state and would create quite a travel burden for many departments in Illinois.

Sheriff Walker notes that is going to put a strain on departments not only from a travel standpoint but then staffing and budgeting.

The DeWitt County Board in May passed a resolution of support for the Logan Correction Center.
