This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or pull an official booking record. Those answers must come from the agency, jail, court, or corrections department that holds the record.
Madison County Sheriff and Jail
For a Madison County Jail custody question, use the jail line first. For a booking record or photo that is not shown in the inquiry, use the county Public Records Center and identify the event precisely.

Where to Look for Each Answer
Choose the office that created or received the record. A county roster is not a master list for every municipal, state, federal, or immigration booking.
- For a county booking or photo, start with the county search and records-request path.
- For a warrant question, use the sheriff or court, and follow the warrant-check instructions. Granite City directs its own warrant inquiries to the police front desk.
- For a reported event, read local arrest coverage, then confirm the roster and court case.
- For a city police report, contact the records office for Granite City, Edwardsville, or Alton.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the IDOC search or IDOC FOIA.
- For federal custody, use the BOP locator or the responsible facility and federal docket.
- For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator within its stated limits.
