How to Contact an Inmate at Joliet Treatment Center, IL (IL)

Joliet Treatment Center offers video visitation every day from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Log on 15 minutes before your scheduled time. This buffer helps you sort out any technical issues so you don't lose actual visit time.

If you need to submit a medical-release application through the Prisoner Review Board process, there are two ways to file the initial request: email it to PRB.MedicalRelease@Illinois.gov, or fax it to (217) 524-0012, Attention: Medical Release Act. Notarization is not required for the initial application.

Your initial medical-release submission needs to include the incarcerated person's name, IDOC number, and diagnosis. You'll also need a clear statement that the person is terminally ill, has a condition expected to result in medical incapacity within the next six months, or became medically incapacitated after sentencing due to illness or injury.
