When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Champaign Co Jail is a detention center located at 204 E Main St Urbana, IL which is operated locally by the Champaign County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Champaign County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Urbana Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Corrections Division operates two facilities: the Satellite Jail on Lierman Ave in Urbana and the Downtown Jail across from the Champaign County Courthouse on Main St. The division employs 50 officers, 8 Sergeants, 3 Lieutenants, and 1 Captain. Additionally, there are 6 full-time and 6 part-time Master Controllers assisting in security and communications. Three support staff members handle clerical duties and inmate program coordination. Outside contractors provide meal preparation, medical, and mental health services.
Meal preparation is overseen by 1 full-time and 2 part-time managers. Medical services include 1 part-time doctor, 1 full-time registered nurse, 2 full-time LPNs, 1 part-time LPN, and 2 on-call registered nurses. Mental health services are provided by 1 part-time psychiatrist, 1 full-time mental health professional, 2 part-time mental health professionals, and 2 on-call mental health professionals.
The jail processes 500-600 intakes monthly and transports 20-25 inmates daily to court hearings, medical appointments, or the Illinois Department of Corrections. The division also monitors an average of 31 Electronic Home Detention (EHD) inmates daily, utilizing ankle bracelets with GPS technology.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.
Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can reduce sentences by one day for every 24 hours of work. Inmate workers receive double feeding trays and two mattresses. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, orders may be doubled. Indigent inmates must miss two commissary days to receive a weekly indigent pack containing basic hygiene items, and indigent mail is stamped only for the Attorney of Record or the Court. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged. You may send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00
