Choose the channel that matches the record or custody state:
- For a county booking, photo, roster entry, or sheriff record, begin with the jail inquiry and Sheriff’s Office. The home page explains the records-request path.
- For a same-day or multi-day county booking search, use the Daily Arrest Report or Weekly Arrest Log in the navigation.
- For a Granite City, Edwardsville, or Alton police report, contact that city’s police records office. Alton Police also operates the Alton PD Jail, so municipal custody may not appear in the county roster.
- For court charges, hearings, or disposition, use the Madison County Circuit Clerk rather than the jail.
- For a person sentenced to state custody or on parole, use the Illinois Department of Corrections offender search.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE detainee locator.
- For custody alerts where the record is available, use VINELink.
Call the responsible office before relying on an old web entry. A release from one system may reflect a transfer to another, and an arrest charge is not a court finding of guilt.
