Lawrence Corrections Center, IL

All in-person visits at Lawrence Correctional Center must be scheduled online through the facility's SignUpGenius system, so reserve a time slot before you go. Arrive at least 10 minutes early for check-in. Adult visitors (excluding legal visitors and government officials) must complete the Prospective Visitor's Interview (PVI) form DOC 0148 before visiting. You'll need two forms of ID (one must be a state-issued photo ID) plus your vehicle information. Visitors, vehicles, and belongings are subject to search, including a body search at the Visitor Center. Anyone who appears intoxicated or drug-influenced will be denied entry. Electronics, food and drinks, purses, books and magazines, sunglasses, and personal keys are not allowed in the Visiting Room. Lockers are available. Clothing must cover to the knee and cannot be see-through or sexually revealing.

Lawrence Correctional Center uses ICSolutions for both telephone service and video visits. All communication goes through the vendor, not the facility directly. To set up a video visit, create an ICSolutions account and download the ICSolutions/ICS Mobile app, then schedule through the website or app. People in custody cannot receive inbound calls. They can only place outgoing calls to numbers on their approved calling list. Phone time can be funded two ways: through an ICSolutions Friends & Family prepaid account, or with minutes purchased through commissary using trust account funds. During the vendor transition, expect a new domestic rate of $0.008 per minute and possible short interruptions while accounts transfer. Video visits are monitored live and recorded. General population is limited to one per day with up to three approved visitors, and visits cannot be scheduled between 2:30pm and 4:30pm due to count. Prohibited conduct (including nudity or sexual behavior) will end the visit immediately.

Lawrence Corrections Center accepts electronic deposits through JPay, MoneyGram (use the Blue MoneyGram Express Payment Form code 7364), and Send2Corrections (Western Union). Most electronic services allow transfers up to $5,000, while MoneyGram caps at $3,000. If you prefer to mail funds, money orders are accepted but must be payable to JPay, include a lockbox deposit slip, and cannot exceed $999.99. Send mailed deposits to the JPay lockbox address. IDOC no longer uses GTL (ConnectNetwork/ViaPath) for deposit services, so don't send money through that provider. Before sending anything, confirm the person's full name and booking/ID number or date of birth. Electronic deposits usually post faster, and new funds may be applied to outstanding balances.
