Southern Illinois Penetentiary at Chester

Southern Illinois Penetentiary at Chester

Classification: Query
Surnames: Sullivan
Does any one know of a resource available to search for an inmate in this facility from about 1896 - 1912? I have already tried the Joliet prisioner register but the records there are too far back. I tried searching the GenWeb site archives to no avail. Has a book been published that might index prisioners at this facility?

Searching for my husbands Great Great Grandfather who was supposed to be incarcerated there ~1896 - ~1912. Jordan Sullivan. Hoping the prision records might list his father and mother.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.

I am also looking for information on prisoners at the Southern Illinois Penetentiary at Chester during this time peroid. Did anyone ever contact you? I did find my "prisoner" listed as incarcerated there in the 1910 census. I am looking for information on Samuel Badgley.
