Most local arrests end up at the Grundy County Jail, 111 East Washington Street, Morris, IL 60450 (815-941-3243).
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 Kankakee County jail may have the person.

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 mention the county.
↑ Back to the question list9. Can I pay bail for someone locally?
Illinois ended cash bail in 2023 under the Pretrial Fairness Act, so there's no money to post in Grundy County (725 ILCS 5/110). Within 48 hours, release or detention is decided (725 ILCS 5/110-6.1). Full details: our bail guide.
