Woodford County Correctional Facility Overview
Woodford County Correctional Facility, also called Woodford County Jail in some public language, is operated by the Woodford County Sheriff's Office. It is the only detention facility identified in the Woodford County Facility Map. No separate Woodford County city jail, regional jail, work-release center, Illinois DOC prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was found in official sources.
The 2024 IDOC jail compliance report lists the facility as constructed in 2001. It serves adult pretrial detainees, local sentenced misdemeanants, limited juvenile holds, and some federal or other-jurisdiction detainees. It is not a state prison. A person sentenced to IDOC should be searched through the state inmate locator, and a sentenced federal prisoner should be searched through BOP.
Woodford Facility Capacity Population
The IDOC inspection is the strongest official source for the facility's capacity and operating detail. It lists 86 total beds, with 72 male and 14 female beds, plus juvenile holding capacity listed as one male and one female. The inspection-day population was 30 people. The BlueHorse public roster inspected on June 10, 2026, showed 67 people in custody, which is a later roster snapshot rather than an annual average.
The same report lists 21 double cells, one 16-bed dormitory, two single detention rooms, and 14 double detention rooms. It also notes negative-pressure cells, a vacuum sealer for detainee property, Advanced Corrections Healthcare medical and mental-health services, and no noncompliances in the 2024 standards inspection.
Look Up Woodford Facility Inmates
The correct lookup path for this county-jail facility is the BlueHorse current roster linked from the county Corrections page. The roster is current-custody oriented. Past-inmate full search controls were visible in the public interface, but broad public past-inmate access appeared secured during research.
- Start at the Woodford County Corrections page, then open the WCCF current-inmate roster.
- Search with first name, last name, or both.
- Review the current list for booking number, jacket number, booking date, location label, release-date field, and farm-out value.
- Open the profile panes for charges, bonds, detainers, incarceration information, inmate information, and court rows when visible.
- If the person is not found, call the jail at 309-467-2116, check VINELink, or search IDOC, BOP, or ICE based on custody stage.
The roster source image below is from the BlueHorse WCCF roster.
The roster is the public online starting point, but current custody should be confirmed with the jail when timing matters.

Booking Intake at Woodford Facility
Booking creates the jail record that feeds the public roster. Supported local steps include arrest or delivery to the jail, admission and release record creation, property handling, booking and jacket identifiers, demographic and physical description entry, charge and bond entry, medical and mental-health screening, classification, and housing assignment. The roster exposes broad location labels and fields such as building, pod, cell, and bed in the profile UI, though public visibility can vary.
Medical and mental-health services are provided through Advanced Corrections Healthcare, with daily nursing hours and weekly doctor and mental-health-professional visits noted in the IDOC inspection. Endovo tablets support education and reentry programming, and detainees can earn leisure time credits for participation. Food service is prepared on site by Consolidated Food Service / Consolidated Management Company with detainee workers.
Woodford Jail Standards Notes
The 2024 IDOC report reviewed jail records, admissions and release, classification and separation, inmate search, medical and mental health, visiting, mail, commissary, discipline, property, juvenile procedures, education, and reentry or aftercare. It listed no noncompliances for that inspection. That is a dated standards finding, not a permanent guarantee about future conditions.
The report also lists several local details that help identify the facility: negative-pressure cells were added, a vacuum sealer was purchased for detainee property, AEDs are on premises, Eureka Fire Department tours periodically for training, fire extinguishers were serviced in May 2024, and no pest infestation evidence was seen on the inspection date.
Note: Confirm custody, visit registration, parking, and mail account details with the jail before traveling or sending funds.
