About

A near-empty prison in rural Illinois is now to house suspected terrorists currently held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As they work to shutter the controversial detention center, federal officials are making plans with Illinois officials to bring the terrorists to the Thomson Correctional Center, a maximum-security prison about 150 miles west of Chicago.

[Per Thomsonil.com] We have some of the finest watermelons and produce in the country. Thomson is at the intersection of Illinois Route 84 and Argo Fay Road nestled along the mighty Mississippi River, where Potter’s Marsh (U.S. Corps of Engineers – Thomson Causeway Public Use Area) offers some of the finest camping in Northwestern Illinois. Thomson is also known for some of the finest duck hunting, deer hunting and turkey hunting in the state of Illinois. Fishing is great!! We have a wide variety of fish on the mighty Mississippi River, Huge Catfish, Walleye, Bass, Northern Pike, Bluegills and the list goes on and on.

If you are planning on a quiet vacation or want to do some camping, come and see what Thomson has to offer. Thomson is also the site of the Illinois Department of Corrections newest maximum security prison – a $145 million facility which remains unopened.
