We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post bond, change a court date, or retrieve an official booking record.

Where to Look First
Choose the source that matches the question, because jail custody, court files, state prison records, and federal detention are separate systems.
- For someone believed to be in the Woodford County Correctional Facility, begin with jail inmate records and call 309-467-2116 if the roster does not answer the question.
- For booking photos or photo availability, use jail roster mugshots and sheriff records/FOIA routing when a public request is needed.
- For charges, docket entries, or filed case documents after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Circuit Clerk criminal division.
- For facility address, custody role, and visitation details, use the Woodford County Correctional Facility page linked in the footer.
- For a person sentenced to state prison after leaving the county jail, use the Illinois Department of Corrections inmate search.
- For sentenced federal custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
