↑ Back to the question list5. How does release work after an arrest?
Illinois ended cash bail in 2023 under the Pretrial Fairness Act, so there's no money to post in Jasper County (725 ILCS 5/110). Within 48 hours, release or detention is decided (725 ILCS 5/110-6.1). More: our bail and release page.
↑ Back to the question list6. Where is a federal defendant from Jasper County held?
The U.S. Marshals Service may hold federal defendants in county jails nearby. The case goes to 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. Can I get a booking photo?
Illinois treats adult booking photos as public (5 ILCS 140/2.15). File an Illinois Freedom of Information Act request with the Jasper County Sheriff's Office at 618-783-8477. Youth photos and most U.S. Marshals Service photos are withheld (5 U.S.C. 552). An ICE photo request goes on the ICE FOIA request page for the booking.
↑ Back to the question list8. How do I find someone from Jasper County taken by ICE?
- A Form I-247A is ICE's request to the 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.
