Where to Ask
For Richland County jail custody, start with the sheriff and detention center contacts below. The sheriff website lists regular business hours as 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Jail custody questions, booking numbers, and bond-detail questions should go to the Detention Center business line, not 911.

Use the correct record path before calling or sending a request.
- For someone in the county jail, use the official roster and the jail inmate records instructions.

- For facility-specific rules, use the Richland County Detention Center, Graham Correctional Center, and Logan Correctional Center pages in the footer.
- For sentenced Illinois prisoners, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
