How to Get on an Inmate's Approved Visitors List at Kane County Justice Center

The first step happens on the detainee's end. They need to complete an

Kane County limits visitation to immediate family members who are specifically listed on the detainee's Approved Visitors List. Even if you're related, you won't be able to visit unless the detainee has added you.

• ✓ Spouse
• ✓ Grandparents
• ✓ Parents (father and/or mother)
• ✓ Siblings (brothers and/or sisters)
• ✓ Children (the detainee’s children only)
• ✓ Grandchildren
• ✓ One (1) significant other (any person of the detainee’s choosing who isn’t listed above)

Once you're on the Approved Visitors List, the next step is yours: register as a user in the facility's video visitation system. Being on the list makes you eligible to visit. Registering is what lets you actually schedule and access those visits.

1. Create your user account - During registration, you’ll be required to create a username and password.
2. Write down your username and password and keep them - You must retain this information; it cannot be retrieved later.
3. Use your saved login for visits - You’ll use that username and password to access the video visitation system after you’re registered.

If Unsure Next Steps

• ✓ Ask the detainee to confirm they completed the Approved Visitors List and added you by name.
• ✓ If you’re eligible (immediate family or the one significant-other slot), ask the detainee to double-check the spelling of your name on the list.
• ✓ Register in the video visitation system ahead of time once you believe you’ve been approved, so you’re not trying to set up an account at the last minute.
• ✓ Write down your username and password during registration and keep them somewhere safe; staff can’t retrieve them later.
