Find Bond County Jail Releases

Bond County Jail Release Destinations

A Bond County Jail booking can end in several ways. A court may authorize pretrial release, charges may be dismissed, credited time may satisfy a short sentence, or the sentence may be complete. Those events can lead back to the community. A mittimus committing someone to the Illinois Department of Corrections, a return to another county, a federal writ, or an ICE detainer instead moves the person into another authority's custody.

That distinction is why “not there” is not a complete release finding. Ask where the person went and whether the booking ended through community release or transfer. The sheriff's booking and release record supplies the physical departure event. The Bond County Judici docket may show the release, detention, dismissal, judgment, custody credit, or mittimus order behind it, but it does not necessarily record the minute jail processing ended.

Confirm a Bond County Jail Release

The county does not publish an official online roster, recent-release tab, or lasting released-person archive. A missing third-party entry cannot show whether the person left for the community or another custodian. Begin with the Bond County Sheriff and use another identifier with the full name, such as date of birth, booking number, case number, or arrest date.

1. Call 618-664-2151 and ask whether the person is physically held now.
2. If not, ask for the actual departure date and time, release disposition, and destination or receiving agency.
3. Open the Bond Judici case and read the chronology and disposition for the controlling order.
4. Request the booking and release sheet when a durable record is needed.
5. If a VINE alert exists, compare its event and agency with the sheriff record rather than treating the alert as final proof.

If the disposition shows an IDOC commitment, use the IDOC search after state intake. For a federal handoff, use the federal docket and BOP where applicable. For ICE custody, use the Online Detainee Locator System. The custody trail may take time to appear in the receiving system, so preserve the sheriff's departure disposition.

The official sheriff page is the published jail access point and does not display a release roster.

The page supplies official contact information; a phone inquiry and targeted record request remain the local release routes.

Request Bond County Jail Records

Address a narrow Illinois Freedom of Information Act request to the Bond County Sheriff's Department as the record-owning public body. Email the complete request in the message body to foiarequest@bondcountyil.gov. Current 5 ILCS 140/3 does not require a public body to open an attachment or hyperlink to find the request details. The county form is optional.

Identify the person and booking with a full name, birth date if known, booking or case number, arrest date, and a modest date range. Ask for booking date and time, actual release or departure date and time, release reason, destination or receiving agency, custody-movement entries, and the booking image. Request electronic PDF, JPEG, or native files, and ask for nonexempt portions with redactions if part of a record is withheld.

A noncommercial request ordinarily receives compliance, denial, or a proper extension notice within five business days. A permitted extension may add no more than five business days for listed reasons. The first 50 black-and-white letter or legal pages are free; later pages may cost no more than $0.15 each, certification no more than $1, and nonstandard copies actual reproduction cost. The sheriff's separate $5 statement for certain incident reports does not establish a booking-photo fee.

Neighboring Counties Use Bond Jail

Research Section 19's facility angle is unusually important here. The 2023 IDOC inspection states that Bond houses people for area counties when needed. A person can therefore leave the Greenville jail by returning to the county that originally placed them there. That event ends physical custody at this building but is not community release.

Include the originating and receiving agencies in every inquiry. A Bond record may show when the person departed, while the other county holds the next custody record or case authority. Search by case number and jurisdiction rather than assuming the Greenville location makes every matter a Bond County case. This cross-county arrangement also makes a destination field more useful than a bare “released” code.

Two Greenville Release Record Systems

Research Section 19 also identifies a local search trap. Bond County Jail is a small sheriff-operated facility at 403 S. Second Street. FCI Greenville is a federal prison complex at 100 U.S. Highway 40. Both use Greenville in their location, but they have different operators, identifiers, courts, and release records. A web result labeled only “Greenville inmate” is too vague.

A county booking or Bond case number belongs with the sheriff and circuit court. A BOP register number belongs in the nationwide BOP locator. The Bond sheriff cannot certify an FCI Greenville release, and BOP cannot establish the outcome of an ordinary county booking. Identify the operator first. Then use the custody number and the record system that operator maintains.

Bond County Jail Facility Facts

The official inspection describes a jail built in 1974 and renovated in 1982, with 22 rated spaces: 20 male and two female. Twenty-one people were present during the November 16, 2023 inspection. That is a dated inspection snapshot, not an annual release count. The Illinois Sheriffs' Association also lists 22 beds. No official annual release total, average stay, or turnover figure was found.

The inspection documents required jail records and operational services, including CIDNET communications and counseling involving Prairie Counseling Center and the Bond County Health Department. An addendum reports a pre-release Vivitrol program. These dated facts do not prove that every person receives a given service or that a vendor publishes release history.

Release hours, the exit door, a family waiting area, weekend or holiday sequencing, property pickup, account refunds, and typical processing delay are not published. Call the jail. Its continuous custody role should not be confused with a promise that detailed records questions are answered around the clock.

Bond Jail VINE and Court Checks

Illinois VINE is most useful while the custody record remains active. Search the specific person, compare the reporting agency and identifiers, and register for available events. A release alert means the reporting custody ended. A transfer alert means it did not end overall. VINE can age out and is not a historical Bond County release list.

After any notice, call the sheriff and inspect Judici. The court docket can preserve legal context after custody information disappears, yet an order alone does not certify the physical exit time. For the strongest confirmation, pair the court authority with the sheriff's actual timestamp and departure disposition. If the court record shows sealing, expungement, juvenile confidentiality, or another access limit, do not treat online absence as proof that no booking occurred.

Bond County belongs to the Third Judicial Circuit. The Circuit Clerk is at 200 W. College Avenue, Greenville, phone 618-664-3208, with published hours of 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Ask the clerk for the signed release, detention, dismissal, sentencing, or mittimus order when an abbreviated docket line is unclear.
