* ATTENTION ALL VISITORS *

Please be advised that the Cook County Department of Corrections (CCDOC) has instituted a new visitation policy. All family members and friends wishing to visit an inmate MUST complete and submit a Visitor Application to the CCDOC.  Visitor Applications may be obtained and submitted at the following locations:

• Cook County Sheriff’s Office website www.cookcountysheriff.org
• divisional lobby where the inmate is being housed
• entrance of any Cook County courthouse 

The application MUST be filled out completely and it is strongly encouraged to submit applications using the Sheriff’s website option.  

Once the application is received, a background check will be conducted to determine if the applicant will be approved for visiting privileges. Applicants may call the Visitor Information Center at 773.674.5225 to inquire about the status of their application.  Please allow three (3) business days after submitting an application to inquire about the status.

Applicants will be denied visiting privileges based on the following criteria: 
 

• The applicant provided inaccurate information on the Visitor Application.
• The applicant is under the age of 17. 
• The applicant is:
• On parole/probation for less than one (1) year since serving a sentence in jail or prison.
• On house arrest.
• On bond awaiting a court date.
• The applicant was discharged from CCDOC or any county jail within the last 60 days.
• The applicant has an outstanding warrant.
• The applicant has a protective order placed on the inmate they are requesting to visit.
• The inmate has a protective order placed on the individual requesting visitation.
• Any safety or security reasons as determined by a CCSO supervisor.

Visitors are required to follow Cook County Department of Corrections visitor rules and regulations at ALL times while on facility grounds.  Failure to do so may result in the termination or denial of future visits.
