Sheridan Corrections Center, IL

Visits at Sheridan Correctional Center are scheduled online through SignUpGenius. Arrive at least 10 minutes before your time slot. Most adult visitors (other than legal visitors and government officials) must complete the Prospective Visitor's Interview (DOC 0148) before visiting. Bring two forms of identification, including a state-issued photo ID, and be ready to provide vehicle information. Visitors, vehicles, and personal property are all subject to search. You'll need to submit to a body search at the Visitor Center. Refusing a search or arriving intoxicated will get you turned away. The Visiting Room does not allow electronic devices, food or drinks, purses or bags, books or magazines, sunglasses, or personal keys. Small lockers are available. If you have a conviction or pending charges, you'll need written approval from the Chief Administrative Officer. Once approved at any IDOC facility, that approval stays valid across IDOC for the person's current incarceration.

Sheridan Corrections Center uses ICSolutions for phone funding. You can set up an ICSolutions prepaid account, or deposit funds into the incarcerated person's trust account so they can buy minutes through commissary. If you still have money in a Securus Advance Connect account, it will not transfer automatically to ICSolutions. Contact Securus about refund options. Before submitting any deposit, double-check the incarcerated person's full name and booking/ID number (or date of birth) so the funds route correctly. Use approved deposit options such as an online vendor or on-site kiosk. Electronic deposits usually post faster than mailed payments, and transfers between facilities can delay availability. New deposits may be applied to outstanding balances or court-ordered obligations.
