Why This Resource Exists
Illinois agencies maintain different pieces of a custody history. The McLean County Sheriff's Office keeps county jail and release records. The Illinois Department of Corrections maintains its statewide individual-in-custody search for prison commitments, parole, mandatory supervised release, and discharge information. McLean Adult Court Services handles local probation, while the Circuit Clerk preserves the court case. Federal sentenced custody belongs in the Bureau of Prisons system. This site organizes those distinct sources and explains which office answers each kind of release question.
