How to Visit Will County Adult Detention Facility (IL)
Visiting at Will County Adult Detention Facility is appointment-based, and a couple of rules can stop a visit before it starts. Here's how to schedule, show up ready, and avoid common problems.
Visits are scheduled first-come, first-serve, so call early to get the time you want. One catch: you can't schedule more than 48 hours in advance.
To schedule, call 815-774-7950 during posted visitation times: 9:15 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:15 pm. Calling outside those windows can slow things down, so plan your call accordingly.
Heads up: Visitors must be at least 17 years old or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. You can't visit if you were incarcerated at this facility within the last 30 days. Inmates are also ineligible for visits until after their first court appearance.
Build some buffer into your day. You need to arrive at the Video Visitation Center 15 minutes before your scheduled visit.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Call 815-774-7950 during the posted scheduling times (9:15 am to 12:00 pm, and 1:00 pm to 4:15 pm).
- ✓ Expect appointments to be first-come, first-serve.
- ✓ Do not try to book more than 48 hours in advance, the facility does not allow it.
- ✓ Arrive at the Video Visitation Center 15 minutes before your scheduled time.
- ✓ Make sure every visitor is at least 17 years old, or a minor is accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- ✓ Do not plan to visit if you have been incarcerated at this facility within the last 30 days.
- ✓ Confirm the inmate has had their first court appearance, visits are not allowed until after that happens.
- ✓ Keep expectations realistic: most inmates are allowed two 30-minute visits each week (this policy can vary, so confirm when you schedule).
Before you go, call 815-774-7950 to confirm the scheduling process and that the calling times are still 9:15 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:15 pm. Double-check that appointments are still first-come, first-serve and that the 48-hour advance booking limit hasn't changed.
Bringing a minor? Verify the age and parent/legal guardian requirement before you make the trip. Also confirm the 15-minutes-early arrival rule at the Video Visitation Center, the restriction on visitors who were incarcerated at the facility within the last 30 days, and whether the inmate is eligible yet (no visits until after the first court appearance). Finally, ask whether the "most inmates get two 30-minute visits per week" policy applies in your situation.
