About the Kendall County Jail

The Kendall County Jail has a rated capacity of 203 beds, however because of the 'no cash bail' law passed in 2022, the Sheriff was forced to reduce operations by shutting down the South Pod, leaving only about half that number of beds being used. There was a discussion of shutting down the jail entirely and housing people arrested for crimes in this county, in the Adult Detention Center in Kane County, however for the time being that plan has been shelved until they see how this new law will affect the number of people that the Kendall County Sheriff keeps in custody.

The current Kendall County Jail, located at 1102 Cornell Lane in Yorkville IL 60560, was first opened in 1992 with 60 beds. In the year 2000, the Jail was renovated and expanded by 24 more beds. In 2005, the jail expanded by another 119 beds, bringing it to its current capacity of 203.

You can call the jail 24 hours a day at 630-553-7500 and ask information about inmates in custody or any of the inmate services, however all the information you need you can find here and in the sections below this one. The Inmate Search and Jail Roster provides details such as mugshots, criminal charges, booking number, docket numbers, bonds, home addresses, arrest date and location and other personal information about the offender.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Kendall County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Kendall County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Kendall County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
