Why This Site Exists
Illinois provides public access to many court, arrest, custody, and corrections records, but those records do not live in one database. The Clark County Sheriff keeps the county jail and its booking or release records. The Illinois Department of Corrections maintains an offender search for people who enter the state prison system, including release and discharge fields when applicable. Clark County Probation and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board handle different forms of post-release supervision. Federal prison releases appear through the Bureau of Prisons. This site organizes those distinct paths so a reader can start with the office that actually created the record.
