This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record.

Union County release questions often cross agency lines because local detainees are housed at Pulaski County Detention Center. Call before visiting, especially where official directories disagree about a room number.

  • Union County Sheriff: Sheriff David Wilkins, 308 W. Mississippi Street physical address; 309 W. Market Street, Room 004, Jonesboro, IL 62952 postal address. Phone 618-833-5500; fax 618-833-3900. Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Ask who had custody, the receiving agency, and which office holds the record.
  • Union County FOIA: Public Information Officer, 309 W. Market Street, Room 239, Jonesboro, IL 62952. Phone 618-833-8248; email foia@unioncountyil.gov. Use this contact for county sheriff records and focused release-record requests.
  • Pulaski County Detention Center: 20 Justice Drive, Ullin, IL 62992. Phone 618-845-3512; FOIA email gjones@pulaskicountyil.gov. Confirm actual release versus transfer. No verified public release-counter hours were found, so call first.

For a released person or release record, start with the home page search path. Post-release supervision is covered under Parole / Probation. Recent events use Released Last 24 Hours; future dates and alerts use Inmate Release Date and VINELink Release Check. Facility-specific contacts appear on the Pulaski detention and Union Sheriff pages. Federal prison questions belong with BOP, while immigration detention questions belong with ICE.
