Find Pulaski Detention Releases

Pulaski Detention Release Paths

Pulaski County operates this regional detention center in Ullin. For Union County cases, the key local fact is the housing contract documented in the Illinois Department of Corrections inspection. A person can have a Union arrest, a Union court case, and a Pulaski booking. That split means the jail's departure entry answers what physically happened, while the Union County court file explains the legal basis for the event.

A departure is not always freedom. A Union pretrial detainee may enter the community under a court release order. A person serving a local term may leave after time served. Someone committed to IDOC may be transported into state custody, while another hold can produce delivery to a county or other agency. The inspection also identifies U.S. Marshals Service detainees, so a federal movement must be labeled as a transfer unless the evidence supports community release.

Confirm a Pulaski Release

No official Pulaski named-person roster or recent-release feed was located. A missing web result cannot prove release. Confirmation begins with identity and custody type, then follows the records made by each agency. The broader Union County released inmate search explains the same chain across all local and state systems.

1. Record the full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, Union case number, and booking number. Avoid merging people who share a name.
2. Call Pulaski County Detention Center and ask whether the event was community release or transfer. Ask which authority controlled it and which agency received the person.
3. Check the Union court case for the detention or release order, dismissal, sentence, probation, or mittimus. The order explains authority but not the exact physical departure time.
4. Request Pulaski's booking and release sheet for the actual date, time, disposition, and receiving agency. Ask Union separately for arrest and transport records.
5. If the record says IDOC, USMS, another county, or immigration custody, move to that system instead of reporting a community release.

Pulaski Release Records Contact

The official detention center page identifies the facility and links its FOIA information. The Illinois Sheriffs' Association lists the public phone. No verified public release hours appear in the research, so call before relying on an in-person records visit.

Ask for a narrow record: booking number, booking date and time, actual release date and time, release type or disposition, and the destination or receiving agency. Include the booking photograph only if needed and request all reasonably segregable nonexempt material. The Pulaski page warns that charges may be assessed, but the research supplies no fixed detention-center price for this request. Ask for an estimate first.

If the concern involves property returned at release, separately request the signed itemized property receipt. The inspection evaluates a process that retains that receipt permanently and documents released medication. That source identifies the record path. It does not prove each step occurred in any individual case.

Pulaski Detention Center Facts

The official county page describes a 240-bed regional facility. IDOC's inspection on September 26, 2024 recorded an inspection-day population of 131 and a mixed custody configuration. Those figures are dated facts, not a claim about today's occupancy. The operator is Pulaski County, while contract detainees may have cases controlled by Union County, Alexander County, or federal authorities.

The official Pulaski facility source is also captured in the project manifest. Its image confirms the facility identity, address, stated capacity, and FOIA path.

The screenshot supports the public contact and records route. It is not an inmate list and does not show that any named person has been released.

Union Release Records Cross Counties

Union County's jail footprint is split. The statewide sheriff directory reports “County Jail Address: N/A,” while the newer IDOC inspection directly records the Pulaski contract for Union prisoners. The evidence does not support inventing a jail in Jonesboro. It supports following a Union case to the Pulaski facility that carried out the booking, housing, departure, and any transfer.

The official sources are not fully synchronized. Pulaski's facility page mentions Pulaski, Alexander, and federal housing but does not name Union. The dated state inspection does. When current status matters, ask both counties whether the contract and custody location remain current. State the source date if the agencies give different answers.

The Illinois Sheriffs' Association Union listing has a successful manifest image showing the absent jail address.

That directory evidence explains why no Union jail roster should be expected. It does not replace Pulaski's physical release record.

Note: Contract evidence should be dated and rechecked because a future housing change would alter the correct facility release path.

Pulaski Federal Release Movements

Pulaski's inspected custody mix includes U.S. Marshals Service prisoners. That makes federal status a real local issue, not a generic edge case. A person can leave the Ullin building under Marshal authority for court, another holding site, or another federal step. None of those movements should be called a release to the community without a federal order and a custody record that support that conclusion.

The USMS prisoner operations source explains federal prisoner custody, while PACER supplies federal docket access. A pretrial USMS detainee may not appear in the Bureau of Prisons locator because USMS and BOP custody are not the same. If BOP later shows “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody,” that status means departure from BOP custody, not freedom from every possible authority or supervision term.

Community release

Departure from secure custody under lawful authority, subject to any stated conditions.

Transfer

A change from one custodian to another, not a return to the community.

Mittimus

A court commitment directing custody, often used when a local detainee enters IDOC.

Detainer

A notice that another authority may seek custody when the current hold ends.

Pulaski Release Date Conflicts

Release-related dates can differ without being wrong. A Union judge may sign an order before Pulaski receives it. Facility staff then complete identity checks, property return, medication records, and any other required processing. The actual departure can fall later, even after midnight. A VINE event may post after the source system changes, while an IDOC admission may appear after transport into state custody.

Keep each date with its source and label. Use “order date” for the court action, “actual release date and time” for the Pulaski transaction, “transfer date” for movement to another custodian, and “IDOC Admission Date” for state intake. If the order and facility disposition appear to conflict, request the receiving-agency record. A release from one Union case may coexist with another warrant or hold.

Note: A transfer ends custody at Pulaski County Detention Center but must not be described as a community release.
