The Illinois Department of Corrections has asked its employees to take 
precautions against identity theft after a department report that 
contained some workers' personal information recently was found outside 
the agency's grounds.

The report, which hasn't been publicly identified, contained the names, 
salaries and Social Security numbers of what the department characterized 
as "many" of its employees.

Corrections spokesman Derek Schnapp said Wednesday he couldn't release how 
many employee names were on the document or when or where it was found.

Schnapp did say the document is back in the agency's possession.
