What the inmate search can help you check

The Kankakee County Sheriff's Office inmate search page points users to custody-related information such as an inmate's current facility, charge information, bond information, and commissary fund options.

For best results, compare names, booking dates, and identifying numbers before relying on a match. If a person is not shown, the next practical step is to contact the Sheriff's Office rather than guessing from a partial result.

Detention facilities

The Kankakee County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division is responsible for the jail facility and inmate processing. The Jerome Combs Detention Center is located within the county detention system and was designed to hold 312 inmates, with a second phase adding capacity for 144 additional detainees.

Detention facility information also connects users to visitation, commissary, mail procedures, telephone service, email service, and social assistance resources for Kankakee, Will, and Cook Counties.

Visitation appointments

Visitation for the Jerome Combs Detention Center and Kankakee County Detention Center is by video monitor and appointment only. Inmates must complete a visitation list before visits can be scheduled.

The visitation schedule is:

Appointment rule: onsite appointments must be made 24 hours in advance, and the person making the visit must arrive at least 15 minutes before the appointment.

Commissary, mail, phone, and messaging

After finding an inmate, family or friends may need related detention services. Commissary deposits are handled through Jail ATM or the kiosk in the lobby of the Jerome Combs Detention Center. The commissary process requires the inmate date of birth and ID number.
