Jail Tour Program​

The Kane County Sheriff's Office encourages and may grant tours of the Kane County Adult Justice Center to public organizations: youth groups, school and church groups, news and media, and civic and community leaders.

The primary purpose of the Jail Tour Program is to allow the community to see firsthand the role of law enforcement within the correctional facility.  Program guests receive important insight into what it means to be a correctional officer.  Criminal Justice students and people interested in a career in law enforcement have found this program particularly useful.  The Jail Tour Program fosters a clear understanding of the rewards, challenges, and risks associated with being a correctional officer.  The tours typically last approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
