Dupage County Jail, IL

DuPage County Jail handles visitation through the GTL (ViaPath) VisitMe portal. This is where you'll schedule and manage your visits. Most visits require advance booking, either through an on-site kiosk or a remote video option, so pick a time window and reserve it early. Before visiting, the incarcerated person typically needs to add you to their approved visitor list, and the facility must clear you. Visits are monitored, and staff can end a visit if rules are broken. When you arrive, expect screening: staff may search you, your vehicle, and your belongings. Adults should bring a current, readable photo ID.

Staying in contact with someone at DuPage County Jail runs through approved vendor systems. You can exchange digital messages using the GettingOut website or mobile app. For video visits, schedule through the GTL (VisitMe) portal instead of calling the jail directly. Some mail gets processed through a scanning service that delivers letters as digital images. If your scanned mail doesn't arrive, contact TextBehind support at the provided address. Electronic communications are screened and monitored. You may need to complete account setup and any required approvals before you can message or video chat.

Sending money to someone at DuPage County Jail? Start by following the jail's published deposit instructions and vendor list. The jail warns against sending checks, money orders, and privileged mail to the Phoenix, MD scanning address, so use the facility's guidance for those items. Families typically add funds to a trust or commissary account through approved online services, lobby or visitation kiosks, retail agents, or vendor mail processes. Confirm the current approved vendors before sending anything. Include the incarcerated person's full name and their booking or ID number (or date of birth) so the money posts correctly. Deposits may be applied to outstanding balances or court-ordered obligations, and posting times vary by method.
