Just like nearly almost every other jail institution in the United States, the Illinois River Correctional Center uses JPay. JPay is a service that makes it easier for you to deposit money into the inmate's account.

Inmates will need money in their account to buy supplies to write home, to use the phone, personal hygiene products, among other things.

You can use JPay by logging into your account online to deposit funds. If you do not have access to the internet, you can always call them over the phone to deposit funds as well as going to their kiosk in person.

Illinois River Correctional Center contracts with Securtel for their phone needs. For an inmate to call home using Securtel, you will need to set up an account. When setting up an account, you can choose your payment method.

You will be responsible for ensuring there is money on the inmate's phone account, so they can make these calls home to you.

The Illinois River Correctional Center does not allow walk-in visitations like other facilities. If you would like to visit an inmate who is currently in the custody of the Illinois River Correctional Center, you will need to make an appointment.

You can make an appointment by contacting the Odom Correctional Institution at 309-647-7030
