Choose the route that matches the type and current location of the record:
- For a booking record or photograph, use the home-page records guide, then direct a narrow Illinois FOIA request to RCSO or the arresting agency.
- For court status or a possible warrant, use the official court route described in the warrant section and call the Richland County Circuit Clerk at (618) 392-2151 when confirmation is needed.
- For a same-day booking, start with 24 Hour Arrests. For a wider date window, use the Arrest Log.
- For current county custody, release, or transfer, check the official RCSO roster, call the detention center, and use VINELink Check for available alerts.
- For detention-facility questions, contact the Richland County Detention Center directly. This site does not publish a separate facility page.
- For a person sentenced to Illinois prison, use the IDOC Individual in Custody Search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator. Neither is a Richland County booking feed.
