This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule visits, send money, or pull official booking records.
Looking for an Illinois Inmate?
The correct office depends on the custody system. For a county jail booking, use the county that booked or holds the person. For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Illinois Department of Corrections. For federal custody, use BOP. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For custody alerts, use VINELink. For filed charges after arrest, use the circuit clerk, Judici, re:SearchIL, or the Illinois Courts directory.
- County jail custody: start with the Illinois county directory.
- State prison custody: use the IDOC inmate population page and official IDOC locator.
- Specific facility questions: use the Illinois facility directory.
- Booking photos: review Illinois jail rosters and mugshots.
- Court charges: use court records after arrest.
- Federal custody: search the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator.
- Immigration detention: search ICE ODLS.
Official Record Corrections
Corrections to an official record must go to the agency that controls that record. A county sheriff controls county jail booking records. IDOC controls IDOC state prison records. A circuit clerk controls court dockets and copies. BOP and ICE control their own federal records. This site can update its own reference text, but it cannot change a government record.
