Updating a story from earlier this month, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Corrections says a lockdown at the state’s largest maximum security prison is largely over. Tom Shaer says Thursday that the entire maximum-security facility at Menard Correctional Center is off all levels of lockdown. Shaer says a medium-security unit remains on light lockdown for routine maintenance. Menard was put on lockdown April 4th following the discovery of a cache of crude weapons and homemade alcohol. Specifically officials found more than a dozen weapons along with gallons of homemade alcohol and juice and sugar used to make liquor. The lockdown was instituted so officials could conduct an investigation.
