Who to Call About Someone at Will County ADF: VINE, Main Lines, Office Hours, and Victim Assistance

VINE is a free, automated phone service available 24 hours a day. Use it to check an inmate's custody status without waiting on hold. It's a solid first step when you need a quick answer outside business hours.

1. Use VINE to look up the person’s custody status - this confirms whether they are currently in Will County ADF custody.
2. Register for automatic notifications - once you register through VINE, you can receive an alert when the person leaves Will County ADF custody or is transferred.

Need to post bail? Head to the Will County Adult Detention Facility Bond Lobby. You can post bail seven days a week, 24 hours a day, so you're not limited to regular office hours.

Before picking up the phone, try the public inmate search. It shows current inmates and their custody status. If you just need to confirm whether someone is still in custody, this can save you time.

Looking for victim-focused help? Contact the Will County State's Attorney's Office Victim/Witness Advocate at 815-727-8819. This is often the best starting point for questions about notifications and support services.

For routine custody checks, start with VINE or the public inmate search. Both are designed for quick status lookups, and VINE is available around the clock. Save your phone calls for situations where you actually need staff help, like administrative questions through the main facility line or scheduling visits through the Video Visitation Center.
