Graham Correctional Center, IL

Visiting at Graham Correctional Center starts with approval. You must be on the incarcerated person's approved visitation list before you can visit, and IDOC staff won't confirm list status over the phone. In-person visits are scheduled online through IDOC's SignUpGenius system. The sign-up session times out after 30 minutes of inactivity, so complete your booking within that window. Most adult visitors need to complete the DOC 0148 Prospective Visitor's Interview (PVI), though legal visitors and government officials are exempt. Bring two forms of ID (one must be a state-issued photo ID) and have your vehicle information ready. Visitors, vehicles, and property are subject to search. Anyone who appears intoxicated will be turned away, and prohibited items must go in the free lockers provided.

Video visitation at Graham Correctional Center runs through ICSolutions as part of IDOC's vendor transition. Register and schedule your appointment on the ICSolutions website. Don't call the facility to book. Before your visit time, download and test the ICSolutions visitation app on Windows, Android, or iOS. The rules are strict: one video visit per day, up to three approved visitors per visit for general population, and a maximum of two video visits per week per incarcerated person. Phone services are transitioning from Securus to ICSolutions on a facility-by-facility timeline. Domestic calls under ICSolutions are listed at $0.008 per minute. People in custody cannot receive incoming calls. They can only place outgoing calls to numbers on their approved calling list.

You can send funds to someone at Graham Correctional Center electronically through JPAY, MoneyGram, or Send2Corrections. Electronic deposits are accepted up to $5,000, with MoneyGram capping a single transaction at $3,000. If you'd rather mail a payment, paper money orders are accepted only when made payable to JPay and sent with the inmate deposit slip. Mail them to the vendor lockbox at PO Box 260250, Hollywood, FL 33026 for JPay processing. Before submitting any deposit, double-check the person's full name and booking or ID number (or date of birth) so the money posts to the right account. Electronic deposits usually post faster than mailed money orders. Keep in mind that new funds may be applied to outstanding balances before they're available for commissary use.
