(730 ILCS 141/5) Sec. 5. Legislative findings. The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that the management and operation of any detention facility involves functions that are inherently governmental. Detention requires the exercise of coercive police powers over individuals that should not be delegated to the private sector and is distinguishable from privatization in other areas of government. It is further found that issues of liability, accountability, and cost warrant a prohibition of the ownership, operation, or management of detention facilities by private contractors within the State to the fullest extent permitted under State law.
