Rock Island Contacts

Use the contact that owns the record or custody system. County jail releases, court orders, IDOC prison discharges, probation, and federal matters are handled by different offices. The routes below help direct an inquiry without confusing one agency’s authority with another’s.

This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot verify custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office for those services.

Choose the Right Resource

Start with the type of question, then use the page or agency matched to it.

  • For a named released person or county release record, use the home search and records process.
  • For parole, MSR, or probation, consult Post-Release Supervision.
  • For people who may have left the jail recently, check the 24-Hour Releases route.
  • For a date forecast or alert, use Release Date Lookup or VINE Inmate Check.
  • For one facility, use the facility links in the footer.
  • For a state prisoner, use IDOC. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE.
