1. How do I search for an inmate?
- Go to the Kane County "Who's in Jail" detainee search and type the full name.
- Try VINELink on the web or the VINELink app for iPhone or the VINELink app for Android.
- Still nothing? Call the sheriff's office at 630-208-2000.
2. Where do county prisoners go after sentencing?
Someone given prison leaves the county jail for Illinois Department of Corrections intake. Each transfer is on the Illinois Department of Corrections inmate search; our Illinois state prisons guide explains it.
↑ Back to the question list3. Will this county hold someone for ICE?
- ICE may send the Kane County Adult Justice Center a Form I-247A detainer.
- 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.
4. Where is a federal defendant from Kane County held?
The U.S. Marshals Service may hold federal defendants in county jails nearby. The case goes to the Northern District of Illinois: Everett McKinley Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL 60604, 312-435-5670. Check VINELink while the case is open, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator after sentencing.
↑ Back to the question list5. How do I request a mugshot?
Illinois treats adult booking photos as public (5 ILCS 140/2.15). Send an Illinois Freedom of Information Act request to the Kane County Sheriff's Office (630-208-2000). 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 for the booking.
↑ Back to the question list6. 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 Kane County (725 ILCS 5/110). Within 48 hours, a judge rules on release (725 ILCS 5/109-1). Full details: our bail guide.

Youth stay off the roster (705 ILCS 405/1-7). Local youth may be held at the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center. Call 630-208-2000 to learn about a detained child's hearing.

↑ Back to the question list11. How can I tell if I have a Kane County warrant?
Phone the sheriff's Warrants Division at 630-208-2015; it serves Kane County warrants from Carpentersville to Batavia. Local cases are posted on re:SearchIL, Illinois' statewide e-records portal, and a judge's warrant appears there. Ask your lawyer to look, or look yourself after the clerk links your email. Having an Elgin or Aurora attorney set up a surrender at the Kane County Adult Justice Center is usually smoother than being picked up at work. If the warrant is about a missed appearance, the circuit clerk at the Judicial Center can explain how to get back before a judge; the center is at 37W777 Route 38, St. Charles, IL 60175, and the clerk's line is 630-232-3413.
↑ Back to the question list12. Which police lines cover Aurora and other towns in the county?
If an officer from Aurora or another town made the arrest, call:
- Aurora Police: 630-256-5900
- Elgin Police: 847-289-2700
- Carpentersville, St. Charles: no listed number here yet; the sheriff's office, 630-208-2000, can direct you
