This page will look at civil lawsuits involving the sexual abuse of juvenile inmates at the Illinois Youth Center Harrisburg (IYC Harrisburg). IYC Harrisburg was the scene of widespread inmate abuse and mistreatment, including sexual abuse of juvenile inmates by the staff members who were supposed to be protecting them. The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice had a legal obligation to protect juvenile detainees at IYC Harrisburg (and other IYC facilities) but negligently enabled the abuse of inmates at Harrisburg to occur. Civil lawsuits are now being brought by former inmates who were the victims of abuse.
