About the Logan County Jail

As a subdivision of the Logan County Safety Complex, the Logan County Jail can house up to 53 inmates who are arrested in the county for either a misdemeanor or a felony, and they will remain at this location as they wait for their trial or if they have to serve a short sentence that will be less than a year.

There are two ways to determine if someone is being held at the jail, through the online inmate roster access or by calling the jail at 217-732-2610, with the other alternative being to wait and see if they call you after they are booked.

The jail provides full services from food to medical and recreational as well as providing positive social interactions and the ability to improve life skills before release.

It will be helpful for inmates to have money in their commissary account as well, as that permits orders for clothing, hygiene items, and recreational activities as well as phone time. This account must be funded by someone who is not incarcerated, so family members or friends are able to access it online to add money or they may go to the jail itself and use the kiosk that is located in the lobby. Once money is placed in the commissary one of the options to purchase will be time on the phone which allows inmates to make outgoing phone calls each day, though the system does not accept incoming calls.

Family or friends may also provide support through mail, by writing and receiving letters with a full return address and no contraband to:

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Logan 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
Logan 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 Logan 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.
