Henry County IL Jail

Henry County IL Jail basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 309-937-3940

This facility is for adult inmates.

The Henry County IL Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 311 W Center St Cambridge, IL which is operated locally by the Henry County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Henry County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Cambridge Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Henry County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division is responsible for keeping in safe and secure custody all criminal suspects and persons convicted of crimes in Henry County who receive jail sentences. A new Jail and Court Services Courthouse Addition was completed in 1999.

The Corrections Division consists of Correctional Officers organized under a Jail Administrator who is appointed by the Sheriff. There is also an Assistant Jail Administrator and four Corporals. In addition to local inmates, the jail staff also supervises inmates from other agencies who are here for temporary housing. The housing of outside inmates has become a major source of revenue for Henry County.

Correctional Officers' duties include supervision of jail inmates, security of the jail facility itself, transportation of inmates to and from court appearances, medical offices, and other appointments, and ensuring the safety of both inmates and staff. Correctional Officers also are available to assist the public and can file reports on minor incidents such as vehicle/deer accidents, minor thefts, and telephone harassment.

All inmates and all areas of the jail are subject to search at any time. Everyone entering the secure area of the jail is subject to search of their person or any article in their possession. The Henry County Jail is a tobacco free/non-smoking facility. We do not discuss housing, medical commissary or disciplinary issues with friends and family
