This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible agency directly.
Choose the Correct Route
Use the home page for the full released-person search and records path. County probation questions belong with the local probation office, while IDOC parole and state records belong with IDOC. The recent-release pages explain Putnam County's lack of a public feed, and VINE provides statewide notification tools. Federal and immigration custody require BOP or ICE rather than a county office.
Sheriff and Jail
Sheriff Joshua B. Boedigheimer, Putnam County Sheriff's Office and Jail, 120 N. Fourth St., Hennepin, IL 61327. Call 815-925-7015 or 815-925-7084, or email pcsheriff@putnamil.gov. The county does not publish separate release-desk hours. Bond may be posted around the clock, but that does not guarantee immediate discharge.
Prisoner Record Requests
The sheriff FOIA page expressly lists prisoner information. A standard form is optional, and requests may be sent by mail, fax, or email. Address requests to FOIA Officer Lynn A. Haage, Putnam County Sheriff's Office, P.O. Box 177, Hennepin, IL 61327. Email lhaage@putnamcountysheriff.com, fax 815-925-9266, or call 815-925-7015. Questions are accepted during the listed 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekday hours.
The first 50 standard paper pages are listed as free, then $0.15 per page. A separate $5 report charge cites the Vehicle Code, so confirm any fee before paying. Request the existing booking and movement record, not a new narrative answer.
Court and Probation
Putnam County Courthouse and Circuit Clerk are at 120 N. Fourth St., Hennepin, IL 61327. The state pretrial directory lists the Circuit Clerk at 815-925-7016. Confirm current hours and copy or certification costs directly. For county probation, contact Samuel Wier at the same courthouse address, 815-925-7153, fax 815-925-7267, or pcprobation@putnamil.gov. This shared Marshall-Putnam-Stark probation service is not IDOC parole.
Illinois State Resources
Illinois VINE is available at VINELink Illinois or 866-566-8439, with multilingual operator support around the clock. IDOC Victim Services can assist at 877-776-0755, though IDOC does not administer VINE registration data. For state custody and archived records, use the current IDOC contact pages and the Individual in Custody Search. Organizational contacts may change.
Prisoner Review Board
The Illinois Prisoner Review Board is at 1001 N. Walnut St., Springfield, IL 62702. Victim and witness services may be reached at 217-782-7273 or 800-801-9110, and prb.victimservices@illinois.gov. The board can assist with its own proceedings but is not the Putnam County jail release desk.
