Ul.Rev. Stat. ch. 110 1113-211. Until November 23, 1987, paragraph 13-211 tolled the statute of limitations for a prisoner’s claims until he was released. The amendment (“1987 amendment”) that went into effect on that date, however, made the tolling provision inapplicable to claims against past or present employees of the Illinois Department of Corrections. A second amendment, effective January 1, 1991 (“1991 amendment”), deprived prisoners of any tolling benefits.”
