Cumberland County Jail Inmate Search
Cumberland County Jail Inmate Lookup
Most local arrests end up at the Cumberland County Jail, 166 Court House Square, Toledo, IL 62468 (217-849-2571). Search VINELink first. VINELink tracks custody and sends alerts when the Sheriff's Office books someone. Booking at the county jail can lag; a Clark County jail may have the person. Call 217-849-2571. The sections below run from the county jail to state and federal custody.
1. How do I search for an inmate?
- Open VINELink and enter the last name.
- Try VINELink on the web or the VINELink app for iPhone or the VINELink app for Android.
- Ask the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office directly at 217-849-2571.
2. What about youth arrested here?
Youth stay off the roster (705 ILCS 405/1-7). A judge here picks the juvenile detention center for detained youth. Call 217-849-2571 to learn about a detained child's hearing.

↑ Back to the question list5. How does release work after an arrest?
There's no cash bail in Cumberland County: the Pretrial Fairness Act ended it in 2023. Within 48 hours, a judge rules on release (725 ILCS 5/109-1). More: our bail and release page.
↑ Back to the question list6. What if someone from Cumberland County faces federal charges?
The U.S. Marshals Service may hold federal defendants in county jails in this county. Their case is in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, Melvin Price U.S. Courthouse, 750 Missouri Avenue, East St. Louis, IL 62201 (618-482-9371). Use VINELink before sentencing; the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator after.
↑ Back to the question list7. Will this county hold someone for ICE?
- A Form I-247A is ICE's request to the Cumberland County Jail.
- The Illinois TRUST Act (5 ILCS 805/15) stops the county from honoring the 48-hour hold.
- Agents may wait outside the County Jail.
- After an ICE arrest, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System with the A-number of the detainee.
8. Are local mugshots public?
Illinois treats adult booking photos as public (5 ILCS 140/2.15). Send an Illinois Freedom of Information Act request to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office (217-849-2571). Juvenile photos are not released. Most U.S. Marshals Service photos stay private too, under 5 U.S.C. 552. ICE records for someone held by the Sheriff's Office go through the ICE FOIA request page and list the arrest date.
