Search Bond County Jail Custody

Bond County Jail Overview

Bond County Sheriff's Office operates Bond County Jail from the sheriff's office building in Greenville. The facility is a county jail, not a state prison. It handles local detention for adults after arrest, while court status is handled through the Circuit Clerk and sentenced state-prison custody moves to the Illinois Department of Corrections. The county page lists Sheriff Josh Hill, while the dated 2024 IDOC inspection still reflects the prior sheriff and names Josh Hill as jail superintendent.

The jail was built in 1974 and last renovated in 1982. IDOC's 2024 report lists four single cells, six single detention rooms, and one 12-bed dorm. Older inspection comments describe two cellblocks, three detention rooms, and the dorm, with a secure holding room created by the 1982 renovation. That holding room was not counted in rated jail capacity. Bond County Jail is small, so a custody answer may change fast after court release, transfer, or state sentencing.

Bond County Jail Population

The IDOC 2024 monitoring report gives the clearest recent count for Bond County Jail. On the November 27, 2024 inspection date, the jail had 15 people in custody against a rated capacity of 22. That inspection population was 14 male and 1 female. The same report lists the rated bed split as 20 male beds and 2 female beds, with no juvenile capacity. A prior 2023 inspection counted 21 people in custody, and the 2017 inspection comments reported 26 people on the inspection day, which was above capacity.

Those figures are inspection-day snapshots, not a live roster. They are still useful because they show the scale of the jail and why local custody can shift quickly. A person arrested in Bond County may be booked, screened, taken to court, released on conditions, held on a warrant, or moved to another system. The county jail count should not be mixed with the federal prison population at FCI Greenville, which is run by the Bureau of Prisons and searched through BOP, not the Bond County Sheriff.

The IDOC jail inspection report index is the matching source shown in the facility image below. The image points readers to the state inspection index, where Bond County reports are grouped with other Illinois county jail monitoring records.

The index is not a live inmate list. It helps confirm the jail's inspection history, capacity source, and public oversight path when no official Bond County online jail roster is posted.

Look Up Bond County Jail Inmates

No official Bond County online jail roster, recent-booking list, or mugshot gallery was located on the county or sheriff site. The correct local lookup path is direct contact with the jail first. Staff may be able to confirm custody or give general next-step information, but full booking records, reports, or photos may require a formal records request. If a criminal case has been filed, the court case may provide a better view of charges and hearings than a phone custody check.

1. Call Bond County Jail at (618) 664-2151 with the person's full name, date of birth if known, arresting agency, and approximate arrest date.
2. If staff cannot release the detail by phone, ask which office holds the record and whether a FOIA request is needed for a booking sheet or photo.
3. Search Bond County cases through Judici or contact the Bond County Circuit Clerk once court charges are filed.
4. Use the IDOC Individual in Custody Search after a state prison sentence, and use BOP, ICE, or VINELink when another custody system applies.

The Bond County FOIA guide names a county FOIA officer and the county request form lists channels by email, mail, fax, and in person. The guide and form use different email domains, so verify routing before a time-sensitive request. For jail records, identify the public body as the sheriff's office when requesting booking material. For formal charges, use the Circuit Clerk or court file instead of asking the jail to explain prosecution status.

Bond County Jail Visits

Current Bond County Jail visiting rules were not posted on the sheriff page in the research set. The best dated local detail comes from the 2017 IDOC inspection, which said the jail used non-contact video visits on Wednesdays and Saturdays and required visitors to set up an appointment before the visit. Because that detail is older, confirm the current schedule, ID rules, visitor limit, dress restrictions, and arrival instructions by calling the jail before travel.

Illinois County Jail Standards also distinguish ordinary visits from professional visits. Lawyers and other professional persons tied to a defendant's case or counseling needs are expected to receive broader access and a private area when appropriate. Local practice can vary by staffing, court order, disciplinary status, medical status, and facility security needs. Do not assume a visit is approved until the jail confirms it.

Bond County Jail Mail

Bond County did not publish a detailed inmate mail, phone vendor, or commissary fee sheet in the official pages reviewed. The 2017 inspection supplies the main local details: commissary items were provided by Keefe, profits were placed in the detainee welfare fund, and phone cards were offered through commissary. The standards checklist also asks whether incoming mail is checked for contraband or funds and whether privileged mail is opened in the detainee's presence.

Use the jail address only after confirming the current inmate mail format. At minimum, mail should include the person's full name and the facility address. Do not send cash, checks, photos, books, packages, or other items unless jail staff says the item is accepted. Phone calls are made from the jail side; the IDOC standards require reasonable completed calls as soon as practicable during admission, but the current vendor and rates were not located in Bond County's public material.

Bond County Jail Booking

Bond County Jail intake follows the issues reviewed under Illinois County Jail Standards. After arrest, the person is brought to the jail unless medical care or another agency transfer comes first. Staff verify identity and the legal authority to confine, conduct a pat-down or search, inventory property, and create a receipt. The checklist also covers fingerprints, photographs, medical and mental-health screening, admission calls, detainee records, shower, bedding, clothing, soap, and housing assignment.

Classification is the jail's housing and safety decision. The standards account for male and female detainees, charged and convicted detainees where possible, witnesses, non-criminal detainees, and people who need separation for mental-health reasons. A booking charge is not the same as the final court charge. A complaint, information, or indictment may later change what appears in the court record. For a full route from custody to case filing, use the local court record rather than relying only on a booking note.

Bond County Jail Conditions

Program and condition details for Bond County Jail come mainly from IDOC inspection comments. The 2017 report said health services were contracted through Advanced Professional Healthcare, with a nurse visiting twice weekly and a doctor visiting at least weekly or as needed. Mental-health services were provided through Bond County Health Department and Prairie Counseling. The same inspection noted GED books and materials through Kaskaskia Community College, religious volunteers on Sundays and Mondays, Illinois Compiled Statutes and jail rules in the library, and fire-safety planning with local fire department contact.

The 2024 inspection addendum noted improvement in basic supplies: uniforms, shoes, blankets, sheets, towels, and washcloths had been purchased, and all mattresses were replaced. IDOC inspection authority comes from Illinois jail standards, and annual results are public. That does not make every jail record public. Medical records, juvenile records, security-sensitive records, and some active law-enforcement material may be restricted or redacted under Illinois law.

Bond County Jail Transfers

Bond County Jail can be only one stop in a larger custody path. A person arrested locally may be released by court order, held for another county, sent to IDOC after a state sentence, or transferred under a federal or immigration matter. The 2017 inspection said Bond County Jail can detain federal detainees, though none were held on that inspection date. For sentenced federal prisoners in Greenville, use Federal Correctional Institution Greenville and the BOP locator, not the county jail phone line.

Detainer

A notice or hold from another agency that may affect release.

Classification

The jail's decision about housing, safety needs, and separation.

Pretrial detention

Court-ordered custody before a case is resolved.
