Contact Us

Use this page to identify the office that holds the Christian County custody, court, supervision, or corrections record you need. The right contact depends on whether the event occurred at the county jail, in an IDOC prison, in local court, or through a federal or immigration agency.

Christian County Released Inmates is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve an official record.


Choose the Correct Record Route

The home page covers the full named-person search and release-record request. State supervision belongs to Parole / Probation. For a county event, contact the sheriff or court. For a Taylorville Correctional Center release, use IDOC. VINE can send event alerts, but the agency that supplied the event remains the source for confirmation.

  • County jail booking or release: Christian County Sheriff’s Office.
  • Court order, sentence, or probation: Christian County Circuit Clerk or Probation.
  • State prison release or discharge: IDOC and Taylorville Correctional Center.
  • Custody alert: Illinois VINE and the contributing agency.
  • Federal or immigration custody: BOP, USMS, federal court, or ICE as applicable.

Christian County Sheriff and Jail

Contact the sheriff for a county booking status, release entry, destination agency, or jail procedure. Ask for the FOIA officer when requesting a document. The sheriff contact page contains a conflicting ZIP in its body; the jail, FOIA, court, and footer sources support 62568.

Christian County Court Contacts

The Circuit Clerk holds court dockets, release and detention orders, judgments, sentences, and mittimus records. Probation is a separate local court-supervision office. It is not an IDOC parole office or a public people-search service.

The Illinois Prisoner Review Board’s telephone is 217-782-7273, with prb.operations@illinois.gov for operations and prb.foia@illinois.gov for FOIA. Confirm the PRB mailing address before sending paper because official materials have shown inconsistent locations.
