Gov. Bruce Rauner's brand new (IDOC) Illinois State Corrections Director Donald Stolworthy says TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT! I QUIT!

Bruce Rauner's state corrections director, who took over a crowded prison system just two months ago, has resigned, officials confirmed Friday.

The governor's office gave no reason for the premature departure of Donald Stolworthy, named to the $150,228-a-year job March 9.

"At our request, he has agreed to help during the transition period to continue our transformation of the Department of Corrections while we identify the leader that will succeed him," Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in a statement.
