About MCC Chicago

The MCC Chicago is known as one of the federal medium-security prisons. Along with the MCC Chicago they also operate what is known as a satellite prison camp, which is home to minimum-security offenders.

The MCC Chicago sits on 240 acres of land. To be frank, only 39 acres of land is inside a prison fence.

Most of the construction for the facility started in 1989, but the correctional facility did not open for business until the end of 1992.

Inmate Search

Finding why an inmate is in the MCC Chicago is easier than ever now. You no longer must waste time making any phone calls to the facility to find out this information that is available now on the web.

If you need this database, you will need to head on over to the FBOP website. If you know the inmate’s name, they are booked under to do a successful search.

Sending a Mail/Care Package

Letters is just one of the many ways you can stay in contact with an inmate who is in the MCC Chicago.

Letters are the more economical way to stay in contact with an inmate since it only costs a very little amount of money.

However, when writing letters to an inmate, you should also keep in the back of your mind that all incoming and outgoing letters will be read. You should only write what you feel comfortable knowing that someone else will be reading them.

Sending Money

Money can be deposited into the inmate’s account by using MoneyGram and/or Western Union. When using these services, you will be charged a small fee, but the money will be in their accounts within 1-2 business days.

However, if you do not want to pay for the service fee, you can opt into sending a money order to the federal money account address on the FBOP website.

Phone calls

The MCC Chicago will allow inmates to use telephones that are in the common areas during the hours of 7 am to 10pm daily.

The only time an inmate will not have access to these telephones is when the facility is under lockdown, or the inmate is put in solitary confinement.

Visitation

Visitation typically will happen on the weekends from 8 am to 3 pm. Visitation will not happen if the inmate is in solitary confinement or the facility is under lockdown.
