Will County adult custody orientation
County custody orientation only; route adult-jail tasks to the detailed Sheriff guide and keep youth, state, municipal, federal, court, supervision, historic and administrative identities separate.
All Illinois counties Facility information, not live custody records.
JAIL411 / LOCAL ORIENTATION ·
Use 95 S. Chicago for the adult jail and 20 S. Chicago for the public video service; keep youth, court, state and administrative identities separate.
| Facility and guide | Street address | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Will County Adult Detention Facility → | 95 S. Chicago Street, Joliet, Illinois | 815-740-1250 |
The 2025 IDOC inspection records 909 adult beds and no juvenile detention. The public Video Visitation Center at 20 S. Chicago Street is a service site, not a second jail. The jail, court, juvenile center, state facilities and Sheriff headquarters are separate destinations. Use the Sheriff search first, then call ADF for a recent booking or mismatched result. Pace Joliet Transit Center is the verified downtown hub; a jail-door stop and accessible final path were not verified.

Who holds someone arrested in Will County?
Usually Will County Adult Detention Facility, (815) 740-1250. The arresting agency books the person and the jail holds them; ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you act on anything.
Does posting bond mean the person comes home?
Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county\'s warrant, or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking, and ask the bondsman what happens if there are, before you pay.
What should I confirm before visiting?
Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.
What if I find something that needs correcting?
Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
