How to Find an Inmate at Joliet Treatment Center
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link provided on this page for the facility roster. Public inmate searches typically list identifying and custody information such as the person’s name, ID or booking number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, current location, and custody status. Records may not appear immediately after arrest, transfer, or intake because processing can take several hours, and state custody records may update on a different schedule than county jail records. If the person was recently arrested in Will County and does not appear in the state system, also check the Will County jail roster or contact the arresting agency.
