Jail and Release Records
The Clark County Sheriff operates the county jail and is the first contact for a jail booking or release event. No dedicated records-unit hours or official jail release hours were published in the research, so call before visiting or sending a request.

Choose the Correct Route
Start with the agency that last held or supervised the person.
- For a released person or sheriff release record, use the home search and records path and contact the Clark County Sheriff.
- For supervision, see Parole / Probation and contact the proper county or state office.
- For recent county-jail activity, use Released Last 24 Hours, which explains the absence of an official Clark release feed.
- For a date or alert, see Inmate Release Date or the VINELink Release Check.
- For the local facility, contact or review the Clark County Jail.
- For a sentenced Illinois prisoner, use IDOC; for federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator.
