*VL-We were granted tower & Ground permission to photograph the Developmental Center Cemetery. There are over 1800 graves in 3 large blocks that we have digital photos of. My photos of this Cemetery can be seen by going to Find A Grave and searching for Developmental Center Cemetery. Since no one is allowed to be on the cemetery grounds, there is not one single flower on any of the graves and all the stones are pretty much the same. Some stones from 1878 to the early 1900's only have names engraved clearly on a square piece of concrete, never possessing birth or death dates. The graves are also in order by death date.

*JG - you are allowed to visit the cemetery if you are visiting a family member buried there. While the above is partially true in that it appears visitors are not common, the cemetery is outside the prison fence and we have flowers at my Uncle’s grave. You have to call ahead during regular business hours to have permission from the Warden, then check in at the visitor center for the men’s prison to ensure the guard towers have communication. I was able to find the exact location by speaking with someone at the Illinois State Archives before we first visited. I add this information I hopes it may give guidance to another family searching for a loved-one.
