Bond County Jail Records Start Offline
No official Bond County online jail roster, booking report, recent-bookings page, or sheriff-hosted mugshot gallery was located in the county and sheriff materials reviewed for Bond County. That matters because many people expect a name-search box that shows current detainees, charges, bond status, and booking photos. For Bond County Jail, the official route is more direct and less automated: call or visit the Bond County Sheriff's Office and jail, then use the county's Illinois Freedom of Information Act process when a written booking record is needed.
The practical search order is phone, in person, FOIA, court records, VINELink, IDOC, BOP, and ICE. Current county-jail custody is most likely to be confirmed by jail staff. Formal copies of booking sheets, intake details, or a booking photo should be requested from the public body that holds the record. If a person has moved from the county jail to prison, Bond County staff may no longer be the main locator. Sentenced Illinois prisoners are searched through IDOC, federal prisoners through BOP, and immigration detainees through ICE ODLS.
| Roster Field | Type | Required | Bond County Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official Bond County online jail roster located | n/a | n/a | No sheriff-hosted search fields were available to inspect. |
| Phone lookup | staff inquiry | name needed | Use full name and, if known, date of birth or arrest date. |
| In-person inquiry | jail counter | case specific | Ask the jail what can be released and what must be requested in writing. |
| Written records request | FOIA | specific request | Use the Bond County form and identify booking records, charges, release status, or booking photo. |
Search Bond County Jail Custody
Bond County Jail is operated by the Bond County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page lists the office at 403 South Second St., Greenville, Illinois 62246, with the main phone line at (618) 664-2151 and fax at (618) 664-4689. The sheriff page is also the source for local fee notes, including the listed charge for report copies and the administrative fee tied to Bond County warrants and other non-traffic citations. It does not publish a separate corrections division roster or a public booking desk page.
- Call Bond County Jail or the Sheriff's Office at (618) 664-2151 and ask about the person by full name. Date of birth, arresting agency, and approximate arrest date help staff narrow the search.
- Ask whether the person is still in county custody, has been released, has a court appearance, or has a hold from another agency. Staff may confirm status without giving every record field by phone.
- For a written booking sheet, submit a FOIA request to the public body holding jail records. Use clear terms such as booking record, arresting agency, charges, release date, and booking photograph.
- For court charges after booking, search Judici for Bond County or contact the Circuit Clerk. Court charges can differ from booking charges.
- When the person is no longer in the county jail, check IDOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, and Illinois VINELink based on the type of custody involved.

Bond County FOIA Record Requests
Bond County publishes both a FOIA guide and a request form. The guide says Bond County observes Illinois FOIA and names the county FOIA officer as Bond County Treasurer Colleen Camp, with phone (618) 664-0618, fax 618-690-2295, and email foiarequest@bondcountyil.gov. The separate request form routes submissions by email to foiarequest@bondcountyil.com, by U.S. Mail to the Bond County State's Attorney at 200 W. College Ave., Greenville, IL 62246, by fax to (618) 664-4676, or in person at the State's Attorney's Office in the Bond County Courthouse.
Because the guide and form list different email domains, use the Bond County FOIA guide and the Bond County FOIA request form, then verify current filing details with the county if timing matters. Direct jail booking requests to the sheriff or the public body that maintains the jail record. Direct prosecution or court-file questions to the Circuit Clerk, State's Attorney, or the court record channel instead.
| FOIA Form Field | How to Use It for Inmate Records |
|---|---|
| Public body receiving request | Use Bond County Sheriff's Office for jail booking records, or the court/prosecutor office for court records. |
| Date requested | Enter the filing date so response timing can be tracked. |
| Request submitted by | Choose email, U.S. Mail, fax, or in person based on the filing channel used. |
| Requester contact fields | Provide name, address, phone, email, and fax if available so the county can respond or clarify. |
| Records requested | List full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, booking date, case number, charges, release status, and booking photo if sought. |
| Copies and format | Say whether electronic or paper copies are requested and what electronic format is preferred. |
| Commercial purpose or fee waiver | Answer the form questions honestly. Fee waivers require a statement of purpose. |
FOIA does not make every jail document public. Medical records, juvenile information, confidential law-enforcement material, sealed cases, security details, and some active-investigation records can be withheld or redacted under Illinois law. A narrow request is easier to process than a broad demand for all jail records.
Bond County Booking Record Fields
A Bond County booking record is not the same thing as a court case. Booking is the jail intake event after arrest. Intake includes identity checks, authority to confine, search and property steps, medical and mental-health screening questions, phone-call access, classification, housing assignment, and a detainee record. Illinois County Jail Standards also expect jails to maintain personal records, property receipts, visitor records, misconduct or discipline records, case disposition, court and judge details, and release or transfer records when applicable.
Only some of those fields are likely to be public. A booking sheet or public jail response may show identity, booking time, arresting agency, charges, bond or release status, and release details. It should not be read as the final court outcome. Prosecutors may amend, reduce, dismiss, or replace charges after first appearance, and the Circuit Clerk's court record controls case status. For a photo-specific request, use the booking-photo process described on the Bond County jail mugshots page.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Identity of the person booked into the jail. |
| Date and time of booking | When jail intake occurred. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff, city police, Illinois State Police, or another agency. |
| Charges | Arrest or booking charges, which may later differ from court-filed charges. |
| Bond or release conditions | Public release status, court condition, warrant issue, or detention order when releasable. |
| Booking photograph | Photo taken at intake; no public Bond County roster photo field was found online. |
| Property receipt | Property taken and logged at intake, usually not a public roster field. |
| Release date, time, and authority | When and why the person left custody, if the field is public. |
Note: A release field can mean court release, transfer, sentence placement, or another agency pickup, so confirm the next custody system before assuming the person is free.
Bond County Custody Systems Compared
The local jail, IDOC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink answer different questions. Bond County Jail is the starting point for local arrests and short county custody. IDOC is for people sentenced to Illinois prison. BOP is for federal inmates, including people housed at Federal Correctional Institution Greenville. ICE ODLS is for immigration custody. VINELink is a custody-notification service and can help with status alerts, but it is not a complete substitute for jail or court records.
| Custody System | Use It For | Main Search Details |
|---|---|---|
| Bond County Jail | Current local detainees, recent bookings, county holds, short local sentences. | Call or visit the jail; file FOIA for written booking records. |
| Illinois Department of Corrections | Sentenced state prisoners from Bond County after transfer from jail. | Search by last name, IDOC number, or birthdate. |
| Federal Bureau of Prisons | Federal sentenced inmates and FCI Greenville custody. | Search by register number or name fields. |
| ICE ODLS | Immigration detention or ICE custody questions. | Search by A-Number and country of birth or by biographical information. |
| Illinois VINELink | Custody notifications and status alerts where supported. | Search the Illinois portal and register for alerts when available. |
The IDOC Individual in Custody Search is the correct place to check once a Bond County case ends in a prison sentence and the person has been received by the state system.
The IDOC screen is useful only after state custody begins; it does not replace a call to Bond County Jail for a fresh local arrest.
Federal and Notification Searches
Federal custody in Bond County needs special care because Federal Correctional Institution Greenville is in the same city as the county jail but is not operated by Bond County. The BOP Inmate Locator searches federal inmates by register number or name. It is the right tool for FCI Greenville and other BOP custody, not for county pretrial detainees. BOP records also do not work like county booking sheets and should not be expected to show a county mugshot gallery.
For immigration custody, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. The most precise ICE search uses an A-Number and country of birth; the biographical search relies on name, date of birth, and country of birth. If a person has an ICE hold but remains in a county jail, both the jail and ICE path may matter. For alerts, Illinois VINELink can provide custody-notification functions, though it should be paired with direct jail or court checks for urgent details.
The BOP locator page is a separate federal search system with number and name modes.
Use the federal search when the custody source is FCI Greenville, a federal sentence, or another BOP placement rather than a Bond County Jail booking.
Bond County Jail Visitation Records
Bond County's current sheriff page did not publish a detailed jail visitor rule sheet. The 2017 IDOC inspection stated that non-contact video visits were conducted on Wednesdays and Saturdays and that visitors had to set up an appointment before the visit. Because that detail is from an older inspection, call the jail before relying on a day, time, visitor ID rule, dress rule, or approved-visitor process.
IDOC standards also give useful context for what jail staff track. Professional visitors connected to a detainee's case or counseling needs should receive broad access and a privacy area under the standards. Mail can be examined for contraband or funds, while privileged mail is handled differently. Current local mail format, video-visit vendor, commissary vendor, and phone vendor were not published in the official Bond County pages reviewed, so custody should be confirmed before sending funds, mail, or visit requests.
| Visit or Contact Topic | Bond County Detail Located | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Video or non-contact visits | 2017 inspection noted Wednesdays and Saturdays by appointment. | Current schedule, sign-up method, visitor limit, and cancellation rules. |
| Visitor ID and dress code | No current official local rule sheet located. | Required ID, clothing limits, property rules, and arrival time. |
| Attorney and professional visits | Illinois standards call for broad professional access and privacy. | Local scheduling and entry procedure. |
| Standards address contraband review and privileged mail handling. | Current inmate-name format and accepted address line. | |
| Phone and commissary | 2017 inspection mentioned phone cards through commissary and Keefe commissary. | Current vendor, costs, deposit rules, and account setup. |
Note: Confirm current custody before mailing property, scheduling a visit, or funding an account, because transfers can happen before public records are updated.
Bond County App Caveat
No Bond County Sheriff's Office mobile app or Greenville Police Department inmate-search app was confirmed in the official materials reviewed. An Apple listing exists for a Bond County Circuit Clerk IL app, but that listing is for a court or circuit-clerk communication app, not a sheriff jail-roster app. Do not treat that app as an inmate locator unless a current official source confirms jail custody, warrant, booking-photo, or roster features.
For Bond County inmate records, the controlling chain remains the jail phone line, in-person jail contact, FOIA for written booking records, Judici or the Circuit Clerk for court charges, IDOC for state prison custody, BOP for federal custody, ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and VINELink for notifications. That split keeps a local jail booking from being confused with a court case, a state prison profile, or a federal prison record.
