Kendall County Jail Inmate Search
Find an Inmate in Kendall County
Most local arrests end up at the Kendall County Jail, 1102 Cornell Lane, Yorkville, IL 60560 (630-553-7500). Search the inmate inquiry first. VINELink tracks custody and sends alerts when the Sheriff's Office books someone. Booking at the county jail can lag; a DeKalb County jail may have the person. Call 630-553-7500. The sections below run from the county jail to state and federal custody.
1. How do I search for an inmate?
- Open the inmate inquiry and type the full name.
- Search VINELink online, or with the VINELink app for iPhone and the VINELink app for Android.
- No result: phone the Kendall County Sheriff's Office, 630-553-7500.
2. Can I pay bail for someone locally?
There's no cash bail in Kendall County: the Pretrial Fairness Act ended it in 2023. Within 48 hours, release or detention is decided (725 ILCS 5/110-6.1). More on our pretrial release guide.
↑ Back to the question list3. What about youth arrested in this county?
Youth stay off the roster (705 ILCS 405/1-7). A judge locally picks the juvenile detention center for detained youth. Call 630-553-7500 to learn about a detained child's hearing.
↑ Back to the question list4. Where is a federal defendant from Kendall County held?
The U.S. Marshals Service may hold federal defendants in county jails here. Their case is in the U.S. District Court for 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. Will this county hold someone for ICE?
- ICE can ask Kendall County to hold someone with a Form I-247A.
- 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.
6. 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 Kendall County Sheriff's Office (630-553-7500). 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 this county.
↑ Back to the question list7. Where do local prisoners go after sentencing?

From Montgomery down to Newark and Lisbon, Kendall County warrants are carried out by sheriff's deputies based in Yorkville. Call them at 630-553-7500; a deputy will check for a warrant in your name. Your Kendall case on re:SearchIL (the statewide records portal) records any warrant the judge entered, and that is the main self-check. Counsel can open it, or you can once the clerk enters your email. Walking into the jail at a booked time, with a lawyer beside you, means no knock at the door in Oswego or Plano.
