This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve official booking records. Use the official offices below for those requests.
Where to Start for Union County Records
Union County Sheriff's Office / Union County Jail
309 West Market Street
Jonesboro, IL 62952
Phone: 618-833-5500
No official Union County sheriff or police mobile app with a confirmed jail roster, warrant search, or records portal was verified in the research. For a current jail question, call the Sheriff's Office first and ask whether the person is held locally, transferred, released, or routed through another custody system.
- For a current local detainee, start with jail inmate records and the Sheriff's Office phone line because no confirmed official online Union County roster was located.
- For a booking photograph, use jail roster mugshots and ask the Sheriff's Office whether a FOIA request is required.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Judici, or the Circuit Clerk.
- For facility details, use the Union County Jail page and confirm visitation, mail, and money rules by phone.
- For a sentenced Illinois prisoner, search the IDOC Individual in Custody Search.
- For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
