Official Douglas County Contacts

Call 217-253-2913, fax 217-253-3144, or email sheriff@douglascountyil.gov. The research did not verify public office hours or a Sheriff-specific fee schedule, so confirm both before visiting or ordering copies.

Choose a route based on the record or custody system:
- Use the home page for the full released-person search and Sheriff records-request path.
- For local supervision or IDOC parole/MSR, consult Probation & Parole. IDOC Parole’s statewide number is 800-666-6744.
- For a recent window, see Jail Releases: 24 Hours or Jail Releases: 72 Hours. Douglas County has no verified public release feed, so those pages explain the official request fallback.
- For an IDOC date or alert, use Projected Release and VINELink Inmate Search. IDOC public information is 217-558-2200; VINE help is 866-566-8439.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use Illinois Department of Corrections institutions. IDOC FOIA accepts requests at DOC.FOIARequest@illinois.gov, 1301 Concordia Court, PO Box 19277, Springfield, IL 62794-9277.
- For documented federal custody, use Federal Bureau of Prisons institutions. For documented immigration detention, use ICE detention / Enforcement and Removal Operations; the ICE information line is 888-351-4024, weekdays excluding holidays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern.
