Illinois Department of Corrections and Parole
Use the current IDOC FOIA page for state-prison records and the current IDOC parole-office directory for field-supervision routing. Live agency pages are the reliable source because central contacts can change.
Choose a starting point based on the question:
- For a released person or county discharge record, use the home search and records guide.
- For parole, MSR, or court probation, see Post-Release Supervision.
- For recent county departures, begin with 24-Hour Releases; Massac County publishes no official rolling release feed.
- For a date or custody alert, use Release Date Lookup and VINE Inmate Check.
- For a specific custody setting, open one of the facility pages in the footer.
- For a person sentenced to state prison, use IDOC's statewide Individual in Custody Search and records office.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE page below. A transfer is not the same as community release.
