Greene County Work Camp

The Greene County Work Camp, located in Roodhouse, Illinois, has a rich history of serving the community and the Illinois Department of Corrections. Originally opened in March 1993 as the Greene County Impact Incarceration Program, it operated as a military-style boot camp. After closing in October 2002, the facility reopened in February 2004 as a work camp, designed to house up to 200 inmates who meet specific eligibility criteria.

The work camp has undergone several transformations over the years. In June 2013, it briefly returned to its boot camp roots before closing again in July of the same year. By June 2014, it resumed operations as a work camp, focusing on rehabilitation and community service. Programs offered include religious services, leisure activities, individual counseling, and community work crews, emphasizing personal growth and reintegration into society.

Visitation at the Greene County Work Camp is by appointment only, with hours from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily.
