What This Site Does
Illinois makes many custody and court records available to the public, but the records are split across different systems. The county jail roster covers local adult jail custody, the state prison locator covers sentenced Illinois prisoners, and court records follow a separate case path after an arrest. This site brings together roster context, locator explanations, facility basics, visitation topics, and records-request steps for Sangamon County users.
