The Vandalia Correctional Institution is a minimum-security state prison for men located in Vandalia, Fayette County, Illinois, owned and operated by the Illinois Department of Corrections.
In 2011 the prison watchdog group John Howard Association released a report highly critical of conditions at Vandalia.
In response prison officials denied the facility was overcrowded, despite 1700 inmates living in a facility approved to hold about 1,100.
