Official Records Contacts
For a Richland County jail booking or release transaction, contact Corrections Administrator Ryan Singer at the Richland County Sheriff's Office, 211 W. Market Street, Olney, IL 62450. The jail information and corrections line is 618-395-7483, and the records email is jail@richlandcounty.illinois.gov. Directory hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The sheriff business line is 618-395-7481. An older inspection lists 221 W. Market Street, so call before an in-person visit.
For an IDOC current or former record, call 217-558-2200 or write to the Illinois Department of Corrections Public Information Office, 1301 Concordia Court, P.O. Box 19277, Springfield, IL 62794-9277. Choose the route that fits the question:
- Use the home page for the full released-inmate search and release-record request sequence.
- Check Parole & Probation for state supervision and Richland County court probation routes.
- Use the 24-Hour Release List for the same-day fallback process because Richland County publishes no dedicated recent-release feed.
- Compare the Projected Release Date resource with the VINELink Check for state dates and custody alerts.
- Select the relevant detention-system page from the footer when a specific facility or custodian is known.
- Use the Illinois Department of Corrections search for a sentenced state prisoner.
- Use the Bureau of Prisons locator for federal prison records or the ICE locator and DHS-VINE for immigration custody.
