Located at 711 Kaskaskia St in Menard, IL, Menard RCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Menard RCC offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

Situated within Randolph County on the grounds of Menard Correctional Center, the Menard Reception and Classification Center plays a crucial role in the Department of Corrections' orientation and placement process. As a policy, all inmates receive a thorough orientation in their language, outlining the correctional center's expectations and available programs. Newly admitted offenders, including parole and ATC violators, enter reception status, residing in the designated Reception and Classification unit until transfer to an assigned correctional facility. The reception process involves various assessments, including interviews with counselors, mental health and medical screenings, substance abuse evaluations, and criminal history reviews. While in reception status, offenders have limited privileges, such as access to medical services, mail correspondence, and commissary items. Movement is escorted, meals are served in cells, and out-of-cell activities are restricted to essential services and interviews.

Menard RCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
