A jail roster is a custody record, not a court docket. Charges listed at booking are allegations, not convictions. Custody status, bond and release details change constantly, so confirm anything time-sensitive with Lake County Adult Correctional Center or the court. Official source: Lake County Sheriff's Office. If a record on this page is inaccurate, use our corrections and removal page.
Lake County Adult Correctional Center: address, phone and visiting
- Address
- 20 S Martin Luther King Jr Avenue, Waukegan, IL 60085
- Phone
- (847) 377-4150
- Rated capacity
- 740 beds

Call before you travel. Visitation at Lake County Adult Correctional Center is normally scheduled in advance and may be video-only, bonding hours can be shorter than the lobby's opening hours, and both change without much notice. The desk can also confirm whether someone booked in the last few hours is in custody, which a roster sync cannot do.
The federal facility dataset lists Lake County Adult Correctional Center with 740 beds as recorded in 2024, while 946 people appear on the roster published today. Read those two numbers side by side rather than as an occupancy rate: rated capacity is not a live figure, jails open and close housing units, and a roster counts everyone booked into the facility including people being held for other agencies.
Other detention facilities in Lake County
The same federal dataset records one other facility in Lake County: Lake County Community Based Corrections. This page tracks the roster published for Lake County Adult Correctional Center. Someone booked into one of the others, or moved there after booking, may never appear here — which is one of the more common reasons a search comes up empty when the person really is in custody in the county. The booking desk on (847) 377-4150 can say which facility holds a given person.
Facility details from the DHS HIFLD Prison Boundaries dataset, last recorded 2024-07-25. We publish them as-is and do not independently verify them; if something here is wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
What this roster shows right now
Of the 946 people currently listed in Lake County, the county's booking source publishes names, booking dates and custody status but not the offence recorded at booking, so the charge itself has to come from Lake County Adult Correctional Center on (847) 377-4150. This county's source system does not publish bond amounts. The most recent booking on file is dated 2026-10-13.
Recent bookings in Lake County
Counting from the latest sync on 2026-10-13, 14 people were booked into Lake County Adult Correctional Center within a day, and 89 within the past week — that is 9% of everyone currently listed.
A high share of recent bookings means the roster turns over quickly and a name can appear and disappear within days. If you are looking for someone booked in the last few hours, they may not be in this sync yet — the booking desk is the only real-time source.
Figures are recomputed from Lake County's own roster at every sync and describe allegations recorded at booking, not convictions. Categories are derived from published charge text, and a record can fall into more than one. See the national data report for method and comparison.
What to do with this information
Posting bond in Lake County
Bond is set by a judge, usually at a first appearance within about 24 to 72 hours of booking. Until a bond amount is set, no one can be released. Once it is set you generally have two options: pay the full amount in cash directly to the detention center, which is refundable at the end of the case, or pay a licensed Illinois bail bondsman a non-refundable fee, typically around ten percent, to post the bond for you. Ask the jail which payment methods it accepts and whether bonding hours are limited.
Sending money to someone in custody
Most county jails use a third-party commissary vendor rather than accepting cash at the desk. You will normally need the person's full legal name and booking number, both shown on the roster above. Funds usually appear on the account within a few hours and are used for commissary, phone credit and messaging. Vendor fees vary, so check the amount charged before confirming a deposit.
Phone calls, mail and visitation
Calls are placed by the person in custody, not by you, and are recorded. Visitation is often scheduled in advance and may be video-only. Physical mail is inspected, and many facilities reject anything other than plain letters on white paper. These rules differ from county to county and change often, so verify them with Lake County Adult Correctional Center before making arrangements.
Finding the related Lake County court case
The roster shows custody, not court proceedings. To follow the case itself, including hearing dates, filings and final disposition, you need the Illinois court record system for Lake County. Search using the person's full legal name and, where possible, date of birth or case number.
If the person is not on the roster
They may have been released, transferred to another facility, held by a different agency, or booked too recently to appear in the latest sync. People serving longer sentences are usually held by the state department of corrections rather than a county jail, and appear in a separate state system.

Common questions
How do I find out if someone is in Lake County jail?
Search the roster on this page by name, booking number or listed charge. The roster reflects the most recent successful sync from the official Lake County Adult Correctional Center booking source. If the person was booked in the last few hours, or has already been released or transferred, call the jail to confirm.
How do I post bond for someone in Lake County?
Bond is set by the court, not by the jail. Once a bond amount appears it can usually be paid in cash at the detention center, or through a licensed Illinois bail bondsman who charges a non-refundable fee. Confirm accepted payment methods and bonding hours with the jail before travelling.
What is the address and phone number for Lake County Adult Correctional Center?
Lake County Adult Correctional Center is at 20 S Martin Luther King Jr Avenue, Waukegan, IL 60085. The published phone number is (847) 377-4150. Call ahead to confirm visiting hours, bonding hours and what you are allowed to bring, because those rules differ by facility and change often.
Why does a charge appear if the person has not been convicted?
A jail roster is a custody record. Listed charges are the allegations recorded at booking. They are not convictions, they can be amended or dropped, and every person is presumed innocent unless a court finds otherwise.
How current is this Lake County roster data?
The latest successful sync was 2026-10-13 19:30 UTC. Custody status changes continuously as people are booked, released or transferred, so treat any time-sensitive detail as provisional until confirmed with the jail or court.

Other Illinois county jail rosters
Booking often happens in the county where the incident occurred rather than where the person lives, so neighbouring counties are worth checking when a search comes up empty.
