While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches 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. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Situated within Randolph County on the grounds of Menard Correctional Center, the Menard Reception and Classification Center plays a crucial role in the Department of Corrections' orientation and placement process. As a policy, all inmates receive a thorough orientation in their language, outlining the correctional center's expectations and available programs. Newly admitted offenders, including parole and ATC violators, enter reception status, residing in the designated Reception and Classification unit until transfer to an assigned correctional facility. The reception process involves various assessments, including interviews with counselors, mental health and medical screenings, substance abuse evaluations, and criminal history reviews. While in reception status, offenders have limited privileges, such as access to medical services, mail correspondence, and commissary items. Movement is escorted, meals are served in cells, and out-of-cell activities are restricted to essential services and interviews.
