Contact and Records Routing

This is a private reference site, not a Morgan County office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible government office directly for those services.


Choose the Correct Morgan Office

For county custody or a Sheriff-held booking record, contact the Morgan County Sheriff's Office and Morgan County Jail at 300 West Court Street, Jacksonville, IL 62650, by phone at (217) 243-6123. Posted office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays. No separate records-line number or booking-photo fee is posted, so ask the office to route the request and provide a fee estimate.

  • For a booking record or photo, follow the Morgan County records-request steps and ask for the precise item.
  • For a court outcome or possible warrant event, contact the Morgan Circuit Clerk at (217) 243-5419 and use its Judici link.
  • For a same-day report, start with the jail phone; local news is a secondary lead, not custody confirmation.
  • For custody or release alerts, use Illinois VINE at VINELink or call 1-866-566-8439, then verify with the jail.
  • For a Jacksonville, South Jacksonville, or Waverly police report, contact the arresting municipal department or its FOIA officer.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner or parolee, use the Illinois Department of Corrections offender search.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator rather than a county channel.
