Macon County Released Inmates is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that created the record for those services.

- For a county-jail release or transfer, follow the complete search and records path on the home page, then contact Corrections or the Sheriff FOIA Officer.
- For supervision after release, use Parole / Probation. Macon County Court Services handles local probation; IDOC handles applicable state field supervision.
- For a very recent event, check Released Last 24 Hours. Macon County publishes current custody rather than a historical daily release archive.
- For state dates and alerts, see Inmate Release Date and VINELink Release Check.
- For a facility-specific route, use Macon County Jail or Decatur Correctional Center.
- For a sentenced Illinois prisoner, search the official IDOC Individual in Custody Search. After final discharge, use IDOC's Contact Us form with “Record Search” or submit IDOC FOIA.
- For a federal prisoner, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For an adult immigration detainee, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator or call the Detention Reporting and Information Line at 1-888-351-4024, Monday through Friday except holidays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern.
