The Kendall Co Jail is a detention center located at 1102 Cornell Ln Yorkville, IL which is operated locally by the Kendall 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. Kendall County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Yorkville 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 Kendall County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division serves the citizens of Kendall County by enhancing public safety through the operation of a safe, secure, and humane correctional facility. This facility establishes structure and accountability for offenders who are arrested and accused of crimes, as well as for those convicted and sentenced to incarceration by the courts. These efforts are accomplished by highly trained and dedicated correctional professionals.

The Kendall County Jail provides custody for individuals awaiting trial, those serving sentences up to one year, and those sentenced to periodic imprisonment. The current facility, opened in 1992, initially had a capacity of 60 beds. In 2000, the Jail was renovated to add 24 additional beds. In late 2005, a new wing was constructed, adding 119 beds, thus increasing the total capacity to 203 beds.

The transportation team is responsible for safely transporting inmates to and from court, other jails, and medical facilities.

The Kendall County Inmate Search allows access to detailed inmate information, including booking photos, charges, bond amounts, release dates, and the arresting agency.

The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.

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.

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. The Jail enforces 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.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
