Woodford County Jail Roster Overview
The official current-custody path is the Woodford County Corrections page, which links to the BlueHorse public roster for WCCF. The roster identifies the facility as Woodford County Correctional Facility and is free for public current-inmate searches. It is not a statewide system. It is the county jail roster for current custody at the sheriff-operated jail in Eureka.
The roster does not publish a refresh interval or a fixed retention window for released inmates. A very new booking may not show yet, and a person who was released, transferred, farmed out, sentenced to IDOC, moved to federal custody, or held in immigration detention may require another source. The jail phone line, sheriff records/FOIA contact, VINELink, state DOC, BOP, and ICE channels all matter because Woodford County inmate records are split by custody stage.
The manifest screenshot below is from the county Corrections page, the safest official starting point for the roster link, visitation, TextBehind mail, JailATM deposits, CourtMoney bond payment codes, and VINELink.
Using the county page first reduces the risk of relying on an old vendor URL if the sheriff changes the roster link later.
Use the Woodford County Inmate Roster
A good search starts with a spelling check and a clear custody question. If the person was arrested recently in Woodford County, start with the roster. If the person has already been sentenced to prison, start with IDOC instead. If the case is federal or immigration-related, the jail roster may show physical custody only while the person is locally housed.
- Open the Woodford County Corrections page and follow the current-inmate roster link to the BlueHorse WCCF portal.
- Enter a first name, last name, or both. The public fields appear optional, so broad searches may return more results.
- Review the current-inmate list for name, booking number, jacket number, booking date, location label, farm-out value, and release-date field.
- Open the profile panes for charges, bonds, detainers, incarceration information, inmate information, and court rows when available.
- If the record is missing or unclear, call the jail at 309-467-2116 before relying on the roster for urgent custody or release decisions.
Woodford County Roster Search Fields
The public search form is narrow. It does not ask for a case number, IDOC number, BOP register number, or A-number. Those identifiers belong to court, state prison, federal, or immigration systems. BlueHorse also displays an Agency Login, but that area is not for public Woodford County inmate records searches.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Unspecified | Narrows the current-inmate list when known. |
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Best first search field for most users. |
| Past Inmate First/Last Name | Text | Secured/unspecified | Past-inmate controls exist, but broad public access appeared secured. |
| Start Date / End Date | Datepicker | Secured/unspecified | Past-inmate date format shown as mm/dd/yy. |
| Books 24hr | Button | Not applicable | A past-24-hour booking control was observed. |
Woodford County Inmate Profile Fields
A Woodford County inmate profile can include roster fields, booking fields, charge rows, bond rows, detainer information, broad housing labels, and court rows. The public view can differ from agency access, and some fields may be blank or secured. A jail roster entry is useful for custody status, but certified court documents come from the Circuit Clerk.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name fields | Full name and name components returned by current roster data. |
| BookNo / Booking # | Jail booking number for the custody event. |
| JacketNo / Jacket # | Local jail person identifier that is separate from the booking number. |
| BDate / Book Date | Booking date entered in the jail system. |
| Location | Broad labels such as A, B, C, D, E, F, Holding, Medical, or JUV. |
| Charges | Code, description, type, disposition, case number, OTN, and offense-date fields when populated. |
| Bonds and detainers | Agency, bond type, amount, bond status, detainer agency, and hold description fields. |
| Court rows | Court, date, room, and hearing-type fields, if visible. |
Find County State Federal Inmates
Woodford County inmate records are easiest to use when the custody stage is known. A person awaiting trial or serving local jail time belongs in the county roster. A person sentenced to state prison belongs in IDOC. Federal sentenced custody belongs in BOP, while immigration detention belongs in ICE. A federal pretrial detainee can be physically housed in Woodford County Jail under contract, but the federal court case is not a Woodford Circuit Clerk case.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| Current Woodford County jail custody | BlueHorse WCCF roster through the county Corrections page | First and last name, booking number if visible |
| Sentenced Illinois prison custody | Illinois Department of Corrections inmate search | Last name, IDOC number, or birthdate |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | BOP register number or first/last name |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | A-number or name with country of birth and birth date |

The Facility Map identifies one local detention facility in Woodford County. The jail direct line is the practical fallback for current custody, recent bookings, visit questions, and release timing when the online roster lags or does not answer the question.
Woodford County Correctional Facility
111 E. Court Street

309-467-2116
On-site video visits: Tuesday and Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., registered 24 hours in advance through HomeWAV.
Woodford County Booking Process
Woodford County does not publish a long booking-process narrative, so the record path comes from roster fields, the Corrections page, the IDOC inspection, and Illinois pretrial law. After arrest or delivery to the jail, staff create admission and release records, assign booking and jacket identifiers, enter physical and demographic fields, record charges, review medical and mental-health needs, classify housing, and prepare the person for court processing.
Illinois first-appearance and pretrial-release rules control the early court stage. The roster may show a booking charge before the prosecutor files formal charges with the Circuit Clerk. A no-bond row or detainer can mean payment alone will not release the person. For court-filed documents after an arrest, use Woodford County court records after a jail arrest rather than treating the jail roster as the final court source.
Woodford County Visitation Rules
Woodford County uses HomeWAV for video visits. The county Corrections page says visitors must register 24 hours in advance and choose Woodford County Jail.

Dress rules bar short skirts, revealing tops, exposed undergarments, and gang clothing. Wanted people will be arrested.

Woodford County Commissary Funds
Funds can be deposited through the blue kiosk in the jail lobby or through JailATM. The IDOC inspection identifies Stellar Services Inc. as the commissary vendor.

| Inmate funds | JailATM online | Use current custody and account details before deposit. |
