This website is a private reference guide, not a Saline County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post bond, pull official booking records, or change a jail or court file. For official action, contact the office that holds the record.

County Clerk/Recorder FOIA Requests
10 East Poplar Street, Suite 17, Harrisburg, IL 62946
This FOIA page is for Clerk/Recorder and Elections records only. Jail booking records should be directed to the sheriff unless that office tells you otherwise.
- For an adult held at the Saline County Detention Center, start with jail inmate records and then call the sheriff if the online path does not answer the custody question.
- For booking photos or arrest-photo access, review jail roster mugshots and use an Illinois FOIA request when appropriate.
- For charges, hearing dates, case numbers, or dispositions after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, the Circuit Clerk, and Judici.
- For a specific facility, use the Saline County Detention Center and Illinois Youth Center - Harrisburg pages linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced adult state prisoner, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System because those detainees are not searched through the Saline County jail.
