IDOC/DCFS Incarcerated Parent Video Contact Agreement Completed Form Examples and Samples

Case Memo: Consultation with Marcus Thorne (Inmate #B-99281). Date: January 14, 2026. Marcus is currently serving time at the Dixon Correctional Center. During our phone call, we discussed the requirements for establishing consistent virtual communication with his children. Marcus confirmed he is clear on the behavioral expectations: he will strictly avoid profanity and explicit language, and he explicitly consents to IDOC staff monitoring his sessions. He also acknowledged that these calls are not the forum for discussing case dynamics, including pending court hearings, his placement progress, or his anticipated return home dates. We reviewed the protocol regarding DCFS oversight, and Marcus understands that his caseworker will be monitoring the video calls and that these observations will be recorded in his case file. He signed off on the fact that these sessions are meant solely for fostering the parent-child bond, and he is aware that all activity, including staff notes, will be added to his permanent IDOC Master File. Regarding additional restrictions, I have noted that all communication must be initiated by the primary foster parent, Sarah Jenkins, and Marcus is prohibited from mentioning the ongoing custody dispute during the calls. We expect the first session to be scheduled by early February.
