Who Can Visit an Inmate at Kane County Justice Center (Approved Visitors List Explained)
Visiting someone at the Kane County Justice Center starts with one key requirement: the person in custody has to add you to their Approved Visitors List. That list determines who can register and schedule a visit.
At Kane County Justice Center, visits start with the detainee - not you. The detainee fills out an
That list is the gatekeeper. Once you're on it, you still need to complete registration in the online system before you can schedule anything.
Who Immediate Family
- ✓ Spouse
- ✓ Grandparents
- ✓ Parents (father and/or mother)
- ✓ Siblings (brothers and/or sisters)
- ✓ Children (the detainee’s children only)
- ✓ Grandchildren
Note: Being an immediate family member isn’t enough by itself - only immediate family members who are actually on the detainee’s Approved Visitors List may visit.
Kane County also allows one extra spot for a "Significant Other." This is someone the detainee chooses who doesn't fit the immediate-family categories - spouse, parent, sibling, child, grandparent, or grandchild. Only one person can fill this slot.
Once the detainee adds you to their list, the next step is yours. Kane County uses an online system for registration and scheduling. You'll need to create an account before you can book a visit.
- Confirm you’ve been approved on the detainee’s list - registration comes after the detainee completes the Approved Visitors List.
- Register as a user in the online system - approved visitors need an account before they can schedule.
- Create a username and password (and keep them) - write them down and store them somewhere safe; you’ll need to retain them for future use.
Warning: Keep your username and password. The Kane County Sheriff’s Office cannot retrieve this information for you later.
