About the Warren County Jail

The 22-bed Warren County Jail is responsible for the housing and care of those who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Warren County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year. 

It serves many law enforcement organizations including the Sheriff’s Department, local police, Immigration, and other surrounding counties as needed.

The current jail facility has been deemed to be structurally unsound and in dire need of improvements. In April, 2023, voters approved tax funding for a new facility to house up to 60 inmates.  

If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 309-734-8505, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.

Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment. 

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks. 

The Warren County Jail also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills. 

Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided. 

Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit. 

Phone accounts are also booked online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
