Several employees of a central Illinois prison were treated at hospitals Wednesday after they became sickened while responding to one or more inmates suffering severe discomfort, according to a prison spokesperson and a prison employees' union representative.
Officials said 18 staff members at John A. Graham Correctional Center in Hillsboro required treatment at area hospitals.
An undisclosed number of inmates received treatment in the health care unit of the prison about 65 miles northeast of St. Louis.
