Why This Site Exists
Illinois makes many custody and release facts available, but those facts are spread among separate systems. The Perry County Sheriff's Office holds county jail booking, discharge, and transfer records. The Illinois Department of Corrections maintains its Individual in Custody Search and archived Record Search for state prisoners, including people connected with Pinckneyville Correctional Center. IDOC Parole Division and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board handle different parts of post-prison supervision, while the Federal Bureau of Prisons covers federal custody. This site organizes those official paths, record-request steps, and release-status checks in one place.
Resources Collected Here
The pages are arranged by the type of release question and by the office that can answer it.
- The home page provides the full released-person search and county release-record request path.
- Separate resources cover an inmate release date, the VINELink release check, and parole and probation.
- Facility pages list contacts and release routes for Perry County Jail and Pinckneyville Correctional Center.
- Instructions distinguish the sheriff's current-inmate roster from the statewide IDOC offender search.
- Records guidance explains how to request a booking record or photograph under Illinois FOIA and what response timing may apply.
Limits of This Resource
This is a private reference site. It has no affiliation with Perry County, the Perry County Sheriff's Office, Perry County Jail, IDOC, the Prisoner Review Board, or any other government agency.
- We cannot release, detain, or transfer any person.
- We cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds for anyone.
- We cannot provide legal advice or make a legal judgment.
- We cannot promise that an address, fee, telephone number, or other detail has not changed.
Only the agency holding the record can confirm custody, charges, a discharge, or a transfer; this site can only direct readers to that source.
Search Partner Disclosure
Some pages contain search tools supplied by outside providers. Those providers control their own prices, enrollment terms, data practices, and results. If a visitor follows one of these tools and purchases a service, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the public reference pages free, but it does not give this site control over a partner's service or output.
