Why This Resource Exists
Illinois makes many custody and release records available, but the source depends on what happened. The Putnam County Sheriff documents local jail movements. The Illinois Department of Corrections operates the statewide Individual in Custody Search for state commitments. County probation and IDOC parole handle different forms of supervision, while federal releases may appear through the Bureau of Prisons. This site organizes those records, search tools, and request steps without turning them into one misleading database.
