Hancock County Jail is located in the city of Carthage, Illinois which has a population of 2,544 (as of 2013) residents. This prison has a capacity of 43 inmates, which means this is the maximum amount of beds per facility. Hancock County Jail began processing inmates once the original construction was completed and service started in 1987 but may have been expanded or renovated since that time, to accommodate the growing prison population. Prisoners are housed in separate areas depending on the crimes they committed, their current risk assessment, and their behavior. This facility is currently under the supervision of Kelly VanFleet and houses offenders.

If you have a family or loved one that is currently incarcerated at Hancock County Jail, the first thing you should do is contact the prison for information on the inmate.
