Choose the route that matches the question:

  • For a released person or local release transaction, follow the home page search and Sheriff-record request steps.
  • For supervision after release, use the parole and probation guide. Adult Probation is at 215 West Water Street, Waukegan, and can be reached at 847-377-4504.
  • For recent county departures, review the 24-hour release list guide, which explains the absence of an official rolling feed.
  • For timing or alerts, consult projected release date and the VINELink check.
  • For a specific local site, use the Adult Corrections Facility or CBCC page linked below.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the IDOC Individual in Custody Search. A fully discharged person's archive request uses IDOC Contact Us with “Record Search.”
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP locator or ICE locator. These are separate from Lake County and IDOC systems.
