Send Photos & Mail at Adams County Jail, IL

How to send messages, photos, and packages

Overview

Adams County Jail records all telephone calls, video visits, and text messages—the only exceptions are calls with an inmate's attorney or clergy who have been cleared by the facility. Text communications are always recorded. Inmates can't receive incoming calls, and staff won't relay messages, so the person in custody has to initiate contact. Phone and video services run through CTEL/CPC, while commissary goes through InmateSales. You'll need to fund each service separately through its vendor. Add money online at JAILATM.COM—money orders are no longer accepted. One important rule: three-way calling or "piggybacking" is strictly prohibited and can get the called number permanently blocked.
