East Moline Release Paths
East Moline Correctional Center is a minimum-security adult male prison operated by the Illinois Department of Corrections. It is not a county jail. People confined there are in the state system, and the Rock Island County portal does not document their prison discharge. Geographic location does not change which agency owns the record.
Leaving the East Moline campus can mean a transfer to another IDOC site. It can also mean release to an approved residence on parole or mandatory supervised release, often called MSR, or the later completion of all IDOC obligations. MSR is community supervision that follows many modern prison terms. Final discharge is different because it ends the sentence and supervision relationship reflected by IDOC.
| Departure | What to read |
|---|---|
| IDOC transfer | Current Location and Offender Status |
| Release to supervision | Last Paroled Date plus status/location |
| Projected end | Projected Discharge Date, treated as a forecast |
| Final discharge | Overall profile, every sentence count, and IDOC record |
Confirm East Moline Releases
Open the IDOC Individual in Custody Search. Search by last name, IDOC number, or birthdate. Select a possible match only after comparing the IDOC number, date of birth, physical descriptors, and photographs. A similar name is not enough.
- Read Offender Status and Location before any date.
- Check Admission Date and Last Paroled Date.
- Read the exact Projected Discharge Date field.
- Review each sentencing count and its discharge marker.
- Recheck the live profile if an older saved result differs.
- Ask IDOC for written history when the release method matters.
Status and location control the present reading. A new IDOC location may show a transfer rather than release. Last Paroled Date can support a move onto community supervision, but it is not final discharge. Projected Discharge Date is forward-looking and may change. The Rock Island County jail portal is not a fallback for this state-prison record.
East Moline Profile Fields
An IDOC profile combines identification, custody status, release information, and sentencing rows. The admission, release, and discharge block uses three distinct fields. Admission Date records entry into the IDOC relationship. Last Paroled Date can mark release from prison onto supervision. Projected Discharge Date forecasts the possible end of the state sentence and supervision relationship.
Sentencing rows can include the mittimus, offense class, count, offense, custody date, sentence, county, and Sentence Discharged? YES or NO. A mittimus is the court order that commits the person to custody. Counts can run under different rules or end at different times, which is why the overall status must be read with all rows.
- Parole
- Conditional community release used chiefly for older indeterminate sentences and limited modern cases.
- Mandatory supervised release
- A community-supervision term following many modern determinate prison sentences.
- Discharge
- The end of the sentence or supervision relationship, not merely departure from one prison.
- Projected date
- A forecast that can change before the actual event.
East Moline Release Records
The public profile is a living database record, not a certified custody history. For a formal answer, request the public release or discharge history from IDOC. Include the person’s name, date of birth, IDOC number when known, and the specific date range. Ask for release or discharge date, custody/status history, release type, and public master-record portions.

IDOC lists the first 50 black-and-white letter-size pages as free, then $0.15 per page. Letter-size color copies are $0.59 per page, and other media may be charged at actual cost. Ask for electronic production when it fits the record. Some material may be withheld or redacted under law.
Illinois FOIA generally sets five business days for a noncommercial response, subject to a written statutory extension of up to five more business days. That response window does not guarantee production of every requested detail.
East Moline Custody Snapshot
The official facility page says East Moline opened in November 1980. It lists an operational capacity of 925 and a population of 482 as of June 30, 2024. The population is a dated snapshot, not a current occupancy claim. Neither number predicts a named person’s release.
The facility’s minimum-security classification and adult male population describe its role. They do not change the statewide search path. IDOC remains the record owner for transfers, supervised release, and discharge.
East Moline Official Information
The official East Moline facility page is the source for the address, telephone, history, capacity, and named programming. The matched image below preserves the official facility view used for this record route.

The page can confirm facility facts, but it is not a list of people released. Search the individual IDOC profile for a named person and request state records for documentary proof.
East Moline Parole School
IDOC lists Parole School and education or reintegration programs at East Moline. These services can prepare a person for supervision and community needs. Participation, however, is not proof that a release occurred or that a date is fixed. It is in-custody programming.
An approved residence can affect a planned release to parole or MSR. IDOC guidance explains that the state evaluates release plans. A projected date may pass or change while status still shows custody, so never calculate an assumed release from program participation. Recheck status, location, and every sentence row.
For state post-release supervision, IDOC parole agents supervise people in the community, while the separate Illinois Prisoner Review Board sets conditions and handles relevant hearings. Rock Island County Court Services handles county probation, which is a court sentence and not the same as IDOC parole or MSR.
East Moline Date Changes
IDOC computes determinate terms under state law and its sentence-calculation rules. Projected dates can change because of earned credit, credit loss or restoration, concurrent or consecutive counts, later custody credit, escape time, MSR violation time, or another sentencing action. Illinois does not have one universal rule that everyone serves the same percentage.
Eligibility for earned sentence credit is not a promise of an award. Offense type and offense date govern. The public profile should be read, not independently recalculated from an assumed percentage. Only IDOC has the full record of sentence terms, credit decisions, discipline, and custody time.
If the projected date has passed but no Last Paroled Date appears, treat the event as unresolved. Check current status and location, then contact IDOC. A profile update cycle, a changed calculation, an active count, or a release-plan issue may explain the difference.
East Moline Contact
Facility staff can answer operational questions and route calls, while IDOC’s statewide search and records office handle release verification. Do not ask the Rock Island County Sheriff to certify an East Moline prison discharge. The state agency controls that record.

IDOC general-public information is available at 217-558-2200. For a specific written record, use the FOIA route. VINE may supplement an advance status alert when the person and feeding agency are available, but it does not replace the underlying IDOC record.
A useful call begins with the type of event that needs confirmation. Ask whether the question concerns departure from East Moline, transfer to another IDOC location, release to parole or MSR, or final discharge. Facility staff may be able to route an operational question, but the statewide profile and IDOC records office remain the stronger sources for a dated custody history. Keep the IDOC number available because it separates people who have similar names.
If the profile shows a new location, contact that IDOC facility for current operational questions rather than treating East Moline as the present custodian. When Last Paroled Date appears, compare it with Offender Status and Location before calling the event a supervised community release. If a formal record must distinguish release from transfer, name that distinction in the written request. A precise request for the status history, movement date, release type, and public discharge information is less likely to sweep in unrelated material.
The Prisoner Review Board and IDOC also have different roles. PRB handles conditions and relevant hearing or discharge decisions, while IDOC maintains the offender profile and supervises parole or MSR in the community. Neither role belongs to Rock Island County probation. Keeping those agencies separate prevents a county court contact from being asked to verify a state-prison event it does not control.
