Greene County Jail Inmate Search
Searching for an Inmate in Greene County
Most local arrests end up at the Greene County Jail, 403 7th Street, Carrollton, IL 62016 (217-942-6901).
Your first stop is VINELink. VINELink tracks custody and sends alerts when the Sheriff's Office books someone. Booking at the county jail can lag; a Calhoun County jail may have the person.
Call 217-942-6901. Below: the county jail, jails next door, release, prison and more.
