Greene County Work Camp Overview

Greene County Work Camp is operated by the Illinois Department of Corrections and is linked to Jacksonville Correctional Center as the parent institution. It is physically in Greene County at Roodhouse, but it is not run by the Greene County Sheriff's Office. That distinction controls lookup, mail, visitation, money, and record access.

IDOC lists the facility as Minimum Security Adult Male. The official facility data reports an operational capacity of 200 and a population of 0 as of June 30, 2024. Operational capacity is an IDOC bed-space measure, not a promise that the facility currently houses that many people. Because the reported population was 0 on the IDOC facility page, custody should always be confirmed through the state locator and the parent institution before travel or mail.

The IDOC facility page for Greene County Work Camp shows the state facility record, including address, capacity, history, visitation, and programs.

The screenshot is relevant because Greene County Work Camp facts come from IDOC, while county jail bookings are handled through the sheriff's office.

Greene County Work Camp Population

IDOC's facility page gives the core population numbers for Greene County Work Camp. The work camp has an operational capacity of 200. The population listed by IDOC was 0 as of June 30, 2024. The same page explains that operational capacity includes several types of beds, including health care, crisis, restricted housing, protective custody, isolation, reception or classification, and beds down for repair. That context keeps the capacity figure from being mistaken for a current head count.

Do not add the work camp capacity to Greene County Jail's 21 beds when describing the county jail population. The county jail is a sheriff-run local detention site in Carrollton. The work camp is state prison infrastructure, and its population belongs to IDOC records. A person sentenced from a Greene County case may enter IDOC later, but that does not make the work camp a county jail annex.

Look Up Greene County Work Camp Inmates

Use the IDOC Individual in Custody Search for Greene County Work Camp. The Greene County Jail does not control the work camp roster, and the sheriff's no-roster phone fallback is for county jail custody. IDOC's public search is the correct route for sentenced state custody, parole status, parent institution, current location, admission dates, release dates, and sentencing information that IDOC may disclose.

1. Open the IDOC Individual in Custody Search and choose a search path.
2. Search by last name, IDOC number, or birthdate, using an IDOC number when available for precision.
3. Read the profile for current location or status, parent institution, admission information, release information, and sentencing details that IDOC makes public.
4. Confirm whether the result shows Greene County Work Camp, Jacksonville Correctional Center, another IDOC facility, parole, or a different status.
5. If no result appears, check spelling and identifiers, then distinguish state custody from county jail, federal, or immigration custody.

Greene County Work Camp Contact

The work camp has a physical Roodhouse location, but IDOC lists Jacksonville Correctional Center as the parent institution and gives the Jacksonville address for business mail and individual-in-custody mail. This is a common source of mistakes. Use the Roodhouse address for the facility location and use the IDOC-published Jacksonville mailing address format for mail.

Greene County Work Camp Visits

Greene County Work Camp visitation is by appointment only. IDOC says the individual in custody must submit visit request form JAC 0090 at least one week before the visit and receive superintendent approval before the visitor arrives. IDOC also lists a monthly limit of seven visits, with only two visits on weekends or holidays. Visitors must bring photo identification and verification of date of birth, and IDOC advises bringing two forms of identification. Expired identification is not accepted.

These state work camp rules are more specific than the county jail visitation schedule. A Greene County Jail visit uses the sheriff's posted Tuesday and Sunday blocks. A Greene County Work Camp visit uses IDOC appointment approval, ID requirements, monthly visit limits, and the GTL video schedule.

Greene County Work Camp Mail and Money

IDOC publishes the mailing format for Greene County Work Camp through Jacksonville Correctional Center. Individual mail should include the person's name and IDOC number, and IDOC's family and friend guidance says the IDOC number should be placed near the name on the envelope. Money rules also follow IDOC statewide policy, not a county commissary counter.

Vendor fees were not captured in the research, so no fixed deposit amount or video rate should be assumed. Use the current IDOC family and friend payment instructions before sending funds. If a person is in county jail rather than IDOC custody, the work camp money rules do not apply.

Greene County Work Camp Admission

Admission to Greene County Work Camp is not a street-arrest booking process. A person arrested in Greene County usually starts at the sheriff-run jail if detention is required. After court proceedings, a person sentenced to state custody may enter IDOC through reception and classification. IDOC then decides placement based on sentence, security, program needs, medical needs, behavior, and available beds. The work camp is one possible IDOC setting, not a direct county booking desk.

IDOC's public information for individuals in custody may include the person's name, IDOC number, parent institution, current location or status, vital statistics, admission dates, release dates, and sentencing information. Other records can be confidential and may require subpoena, court order, or an IDOC record request. For court charges from a Greene County arrest, Judici and the Circuit Clerk remain separate from the IDOC custody record.

Greene County Work Camp History

IDOC describes a facility history that differs from a standard county jail. The Greene County Impact Incarceration Program opened in March 1993 as a military-style boot camp and closed in October 2002. It reopened in February 2004 as a work camp equipped to house up to 200 individuals in custody who met strict criteria. In June 2013, the impact incarceration program reopened while work camp operations closed the next month. In June 2014, it closed again and reopened as a work camp.

Programs listed by IDOC include religious volunteer services, leisure time activity, community work crews, and individual counseling. These are state corrections programs, not Greene County Jail programs. For current jail booking status, use Greene County Jail and the sheriff contact route. For state custody at or tied to the work camp, use IDOC's locator and facility instructions.
