SPRINGFIELD -- Critics are questioning the Governor's decision to close Tamms Maximum Security Prison. Inmates from the facility have started moving to Pontiac Prison up north.

But, new reports show there have already been some problems with violence. Inmates from Tamms who were previously in isolation are now sharing cells. AFSCME says that's not only dangerous for the inmates, but also the guards.
