This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, arrange a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that owns the record or custody information.
Find the Correct Records Office
Edwards County has one holding cell and no conventional county jail, so a local arrest and later custody may be handled by different offices. No official Edwards Sheriff records hours or separate records-unit number were located. Call before visiting and ask for the current FOIA officer, accepted request method, business hours, fee schedule, and record custodian.
Edwards County Sheriff's Office
50 Main St.
Albion, IL 62806
618-445-2721
Use for county arrest verification, holding-cell questions, warrant-status direction, and the current records or FOIA contact. Hours were not published in the reviewed source.
White County Jail
108 N. Main Cross St.
Carmi, IL 62821
618-382-7149
Use for receiving-facility custody, a confirmed transfer or release, roster questions, and whether White County holds an intake photo. Verify office access hours before visiting.
White County Sheriff's Office
108 N. Main Cross St.
Carmi, IL 62821
618-382-5321
Use for sheriff administration or current jail records routing when the jail line cannot identify the proper custodian. Confirm hours directly.
Edwards County Circuit Clerk
50 East Main St., Suite 7
Albion, IL 62806-1262
618-445-2016
Use for public court files, case searches, court dates, forms, and dispositions. The court site generally lists weekday business hours; verify the current schedule before an in-person visit.
Choose the route by the question being asked:
- For a mugshot or event-specific booking record, begin with the home page's official search and records-request path, then contact the arresting agency and receiving jail as needed.
- For someone arrested very recently, review the Daily Arrest Report. A transfer can delay the receiving-jail entry.
- For several days of custody, releases, and local news context, use the Weekly Arrest Log. No official Edwards weekly blotter was found.
- For a custody or release alert, use the VINELink Inmate Check. Edwards and White County participation was not publicly confirmed, so call both agencies after a blank result.
- For a current warrant, ask Edwards Sheriff. The Circuit Clerk may show a related docket event but is not a live sheriff warrant database.
- For a sentenced Illinois prisoner or parolee, use the Illinois Department of Corrections offender search. It is not a same-day county booking source.
- For federal prison custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For civil immigration detention, use the ICE detainee locator. Those systems do not replace local arrest or court records.
White County Jail's separate PREA route concerns reports of sexual abuse or harassment in detention, not public booking-record requests. Its main jail line is 618-382-7149, and the official page says reports may be anonymous. For immediate danger, use emergency services rather than a website contact path.
