This is a private reference site, not a government or law-enforcement office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, retrieve official booking records, or supply a booking photo. Contact the agency that holds the record or custody directly.
Official Contacts for Custody and Records
Start with the Edwards County Sheriff's Office for a county arrest, local custody question, or booking-record request. The office has not published a separate records line, records hours, a current county booking-photo fee, or an official public roster.
Edwards County Sheriff's Office
50 East Main Street, Suite 1
Albion, IL 62806
Phone: 618-445-2721
White County Jail
108 N. Main Cross Street
Carmi, IL 62821
Jail phone: 618-382-7149
A 2023 IDOC inspection identifies White County Jail as the contracted custody location for Edwards County, but it is not an Edwards County jail. The White County Sheriff's official page also lists 618-382-5321 and office hours of Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Use White County as a secondary custody contact and confirm the person's location before traveling.
Choose the official route that matches the information you need:
- Current Edwards County custody: Call the Edwards County Sheriff's Office first. If staff direct you to contracted custody, confirm with White County Jail. No verified public Edwards or White County roster was found.
- Booking record or photo: Use the records-request steps on the home page and ask the Edwards County Sheriff's Office under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Under 5 ILCS 140/2.15, arrest information has specific disclosure rules, but no separate records line, published records hours, or current booking-photo fee was found.
- City police records: Albion Police Department is at 618-445-2917. Grayville Police Chief Mason Seigel can be reached at 618-375-2351 or policechief@grayville-il.gov. For West Salem, Police Chief Mark Weber uses westsalempd1@gmail.com; the village clerk is the FOIA officer at 106 East South Street, P.O. Box 456, West Salem, IL 62476, 618-456-3167, weekdays 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
- Court disposition: Search the official Edwards County Circuit Clerk court cases. A booking entry does not show whether charges were dismissed, amended, or resulted in a conviction.
- Illinois state custody: Use the official IDOC offender search. IDOC is the state corrections department, so its search covers state custody rather than county holding or contracted jail custody.
- Federal or immigration custody: Check the official Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for federal prison custody or the official ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention.
- Custody notifications: Use Illinois VINE for available custody-status notifications. Confirm all status information with the responsible agency.
