Governor Pat Quinn is defending the state police investigation of corrections officers inside the supermax prison that Quinn plans to shut down.
Sources tell the Associated Press that investigators have tried to question prison staffers about leaks of information regarding the shutdown and the transfer of inmates. Quinn says that if laws are broken, then the people close to the incident should expect to be questioned.
Quinn did not elaborate on what laws may have been violated in the information that may have gone to members of the press.
