Contact Us

Questions about a Macon County jail release, a state-prison record, or post-release supervision must go to the office that owns that information. Use these contacts to reach the Macon County Sheriff's Office, jail Corrections staff, Decatur Correctional Center, or IDOC. This private site cannot look up a private case response or act for any government agency.

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.
