This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. For any of those, you need to reach the government office that holds the record directly, using the contacts below.


Looking for an Inmate or a Record?

Most questions are answered fastest by going straight to the right Marshall County office. For a custody check or a booking record, the Sheriff's Department in Lacon is the place to start, since the county does not run an online jail roster.

Marshall County Sheriff & Jail

520 Sixth Street

Lacon, IL 61540

309-246-2115

Office hours 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Mon-Fri

FOIA requests for booking records, arrest reports, or a booking photo go in writing to the sheriff's office manager. Where you go next depends on what you need.

  • Someone in the county jail, start with jail inmate records.
  • A booking photo, see jail roster mugshots.
  • Charges filed after an arrest, see court records after a jail arrest.
  • A specific facility, use the detention facility page listed in the footer.
  • A sentenced state prisoner, use the statewide Illinois Department of Corrections inmate locator.
  • A federal or immigration detainee, use the federal BOP or ICE locator.
