Mental health care has long been an issue at the McLean County Jail. The County Board famously spent over $40 million to upgrade the jail, ostensibly under the guise of increasing mental health care outcomes. However, based on lawsuits filed against the Sheriff and the testimony of multiple people currently or formerly incarcerated, mental health does not seem to be a priority at the jail.
