This project is supported by a Recordings at Risk grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). This grant program is made possible by funding from the Mellon Foundation.

Files concern the three commission subcommittees (i.e., penal, charitable, educational) visitations and examinations. Included are recent institutional annual and quarterly reports made to their respective departments, program statements, organizational charts, building layout plans, follow up reports responding to subcommittee requests, and tape recordings of hearings. Occasionally included are hearing transcripts and subcommittee summary minutes. Visitations were made at state hospitals, childrens service centers, security hospitals, pediatric institutes, psychiatric institutes, zone or mental health centers, universities, prisons, juvenile correction facilities, the Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Home, the Illinois School for the Deaf, and the Illinois Braille and Sight Saving School.
