This is a private reference site, not a Scott County government office. The site cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, accept money, or pull an official booking, arrest, jail, or court record for you.
Where to Ask for the Record You Need
Start with the office that controls the record. Scott County has no county jail, so a person arrested locally may be held at Greene County Jail or another outside jail only after placement is confirmed.
- Scott County Sheriff's Office: 101 E. Market Street, Winchester, IL 62694, 217-742-3141. Call first for current custody placement, arrest reports, transport questions, or the agency that may hold a booking photo.
- Scott County courthouse and county offices: 35 E Market St., Winchester, IL 62694, 217-742-3178.
- Scott County Circuit Clerk: 35 E Market St., Winchester, IL 62694, 217-742-5217, open 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. for criminal case numbers, filings, court dates, fines, and Judici-related court-record questions.
- Greene County Jail: 403 Seventh Street, Carrollton, IL 62016, 217-942-6901. Call only after Scott County confirms the person is housed there; ask about custody status, visiting, mail, property, money, and release rules.
- Scott County State's Attorney: Richard K. Crews. Victim/witness coordinator Bobbie Jo McKee can be reached at 217-742-8907 for victim-notification questions handled by that office.
Use the pages below when the question is about a public lookup path rather than a phone call:
- For a recent Scott County arrest or outside-jail placement, begin with jail inmate records.
- For booking-photo access under Illinois FOIA and 5 ILCS 140/2.15, review jail roster mugshots.
- For filed charges, court dates, and case outcomes, use court records after a jail arrest and the Judici Scott County case search.
- For a specific local custody location, use the facility pages for Greene County Jail and the Scott County Sheriff's Office listed below.
- For a sentenced Illinois prisoner, use the IDOC Individual in Custody Search or call IDOC at 217-558-2200 or 1-888-446-9103.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System; they are separate from Scott County jail and court records.
