65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

correction, which shall be used for the confinement and punishment of
criminals, or persons sentenced or committed thereto under the provisions
of this Division 4, or any law of this state, or ordinance of any city or
village authorizing the confinement of convicted persons in any such house
of correction.

The corporate authorities of any such city may purchase or otherwise
acquire, own or control so much land within the incorporated limits of such
city or outside and within the same county as such city may require, for
the purpose of establishing thereon such house of correction and other
buildings or appurtenances thereto, and for the purpose of establishing in
connection therewith a farm colony. Any farm colony so established in
connection with a house of correction shall also be used for the
confinement and punishment of criminals or persons sentenced or committed
thereto under the provisions of this Division 4, or any law of this state,
or ordinance of any city or village, authorizing the confinement of
convicted persons in any such house of correction or farm colony.

When such land is purchased or acquired and house of correction or farm
colony established by any such city outside of the corporate limits
thereof, such city and the corporate authorities thereof shall have
complete police powers, for the purpose of control and management of same
and of the persons confined therein, over such lands and territory
surrounding the same and highways leading thereto from such city as is now
conferred by law upon cities, incorporated towns and villages within this
state over territory lying within the corporate limits thereof.
