No Stark County Jail Roster
No official Stark County Jail online roster was located on the official county website, the Stark County Sheriff's Office page, IDOC jail inspection pages, or the Illinois Sheriffs' Association Stark County page. No official booking list, recent booking report, mugshot gallery, warrant list, inmate-services page, sheriff app, or app-only roster was located for Stark County, Illinois. That local fact controls how a Stark County inmate records search should start.
For current custody, the first county source is the Sheriff's Office and jail. The office is operated by Sheriff Charles "Chuck" Demetreon, with Chief Deputy and Jail Administrator Matt Shipp listed in the official sheriff materials. If the question is whether a person is presently held after an arrest in Toulon, Wyoming, Bradford, LaFayette, or rural Stark County, call or visit the sheriff's administrative office first. If the person has moved beyond county custody, the search can shift to Judici, the Illinois Department of Corrections, VINE, BOP, or ICE.
The official Stark County Sheriff's Office page is the local source for the jail address, phone number, office hours, and sheriff contact block.
Because the same page does not publish a public inmate roster, the contact details become the first practical custody-search channel.
Search Stark County Inmate Records
Because Stark County does not post a searchable roster, a good search uses a fallback chain. Start with the most direct custody source, then use written records and state or federal locators only when the facts point there. A person may not appear in a state prison locator while booking is still in progress. A person may also leave the jail quickly after release, transfer, a court order, or a state-prison commitment.
- Call the Stark County Sheriff's Office at (309) 286-2541 and ask whether the person is currently in Stark County Jail.
- Use the full legal name, date of birth if known, and an approximate arrest or booking date.
- If the jail cannot release the record by phone, ask whether an in-person inquiry or FOIA request is the correct route.
- For formal charges or hearing dates, use Judici for Stark County or contact the Circuit Clerk.
- For sentenced state-prison custody, use the IDOC Individual in Custody Search.
- For notifications, use Illinois VINE when custody or case status alerts are needed.
- For federal or immigration custody, check the BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS.
Stark County Roster Fields
The local roster field table is unusual because the missing item is the main point. Stark County has not published an official web form where a user can type a name and open a county jail profile. The practical search fields are the items supplied to the sheriff or to the county FOIA officer. FOIA requests should name the Stark County Sheriff's Office as the record holder and should be sent through the County Clerk route when a written record is needed.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official county jail roster | Not available | n/a | No official Stark County Jail online roster or search form was located. |
| Name for phone or FOIA request | Text | Practical requirement | Use the person's full legal name; add date of birth when known. |
| Date of birth | Date or text | Optional, recommended | Helps the jail or records officer separate same-name people. |
| Arrest or booking date | Date | Optional, recommended | An approximate date helps locate a booking sheet, arrest report, or release record. |
| Record requested | Text | Yes for FOIA clarity | Booking sheet, arrest report, booking photo, bond or release information, or incident report. |
FOIA requests go through the Stark County Clerk and Recorder, who is listed as the county FOIA officer. The County Clerk page lists PO Box 97, 130 West Main Street, Toulon, IL 61483, phone (309) 286-5911, email clerk@starkco.illinois.gov, and Monday through Friday office hours from 8:30am to 4:30pm. A useful request names the Sheriff's Office, the person's identifiers, the date range, and the exact jail records sought.
Stark County Jail Contact
Current custody questions belong with the jail and sheriff, not a third-party search site. The sheriff page lists the office at the jail address and provides the non-emergency phone and fax. The same public materials identify Sheriff Charles Demetreon, Chief Deputy and Jail Administrator Matt Shipp, ECC Director Joseph Charvat, and Secretary Jessica Kraft. Administrative hours are posted for weekday business, while dispatch and law-enforcement response operate around the clock.

Stark County Inmate Profile Fields
Since no Stark County online profile could be inspected, the field inventory comes from Illinois public-record law and jail standards. Illinois FOIA section 2.15 covers arrest-report information such as name, age, address, photograph when available, charges, arrest time and place, agency, bond or bail amount if incarcerated, and custody movement dates. The 2023 jail inspection checklist also confirms jail booking records, photographs, fingerprints, property receipts, medical intake, housing assignment, and release or transfer records.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name, age, address | Basic identifying information in the arrest report, unless a legal exemption applies. |
| Booking photo | A photograph when available; Stark County does not post an official online mugshot gallery. |
| Charges | Arrest or booking charges, which can differ from later prosecutor-filed court charges. |
| Arrest time and location | When and where the arrest was made. |
| Arresting agency | The sheriff, police, or other law-enforcement agency tied to the arrest. |
| Bond or release status | Bond, pretrial release, detention order, or other custody status when available. |
| Received, discharged, transferred | Dates and times showing entry into jail, release, or movement to another authority. |
| Property and medical intake | Property receipt, health screening, medication notes, and related jail intake records. |
| Housing or classification | Jail assignment based on classification and available quarters. |
Stark County Booking Process
Stark County does not publish a local booking manual or a roster-refresh notice, so timing should not be guessed. The inspection-backed process starts with arrest and transport, then legal authority and identity checks, a pat-down or search, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photos, health and mental-health screening, orientation, housing or classification, phone access, court or pretrial release action, and release or transfer documentation. Calling too soon can fail if the person is still in transport, at a hospital, being screened, or not yet fully entered into jail records.
Illinois changed pretrial release practice, so generic instructions to post cash bail can be wrong. A judge may set release conditions or order detention. A separate warrant, probation or parole hold, IDOC commitment, federal matter, or immigration detainer can also affect release. For court filings after an arrest, Stark County participates in Judici, and the Stark County Circuit Clerk page is the local court-record route.
- Booking
- The jail intake record created after arrest and admission.
- Classification
- The jail's review of custody, safety, health, and housing needs.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that may affect release.
- Mittimus
- A court commitment document used when a person is sentenced to IDOC.
Stark County Jail Visitation
No local Stark County Jail visitation schedule, dress code page, remote-video registration page, holiday rule, or inmate-services page was located. The 2023 IDOC inspection confirms one video visitation station inside the jail. Illinois county jail standards reference visitation procedures, identification and sign-in, visits for children with an adult, professional visits, at least two visiting days per week, at least one weekend visiting day, and at least 15 minutes per visit. Those are standards, not a posted Stark schedule.
| Topic | Located Detail | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Local schedule | Not posted on the sheriff page | Call (309) 286-2541 before travel. |
| Video visitation | One station located within the jail | Ask whether visits are onsite, video, or both. |
| Minimum standards | Two visiting days, one weekend day, at least 15 minutes | Treat as state standards, not posted local hours. |
| Visitor ID/sign-in | Referenced in IDOC standards checklist | Bring government ID and confirm entry rules. |
| Children | Standards reference children with adult accompaniment | Confirm age and guardian rules with the jail. |
| Professional visits | Standards reference liberal case-related visits | Attorneys and counselors should coordinate directly. |
Note: Confirm custody status and visit rules with Stark County Jail before travel because no local schedule was posted.
Stark County Jail vs IDOC
Many failed searches happen because the wrong system is used. Stark County Jail is for local arrestees, pretrial detainees, and county jail detainees. IDOC is for sentenced state-prison custody and has its own locator. BOP and ICE are separate federal and immigration systems. VINE is a notification layer and can supplement a search, but it should not be treated as the county's missing roster.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Stark County arrest | Sheriff phone, in person, or FOIA | Sentenced IDOC prisoners or federal detainees. |
| Court charges after arrest | Judici or Stark County Circuit Clerk | Medical intake, housing, or jail property records. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | IDOC Individual in Custody Search | New jail bookings before state commitment. |
| Custody notifications | Illinois VINE | A complete county booking record or court file. |
| Federal prison custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Stark County Jail roster data. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Local criminal charges or county jail booking photos. |
IDOC Stark County Transfers
The Illinois Department of Corrections locator is useful only after a person is in state-prison custody or otherwise appears in IDOC records. It is not the first place to check for a new Stark County arrest. IDOC search options are Last Name, IDOC Number, or Birthdate, and the profile can show front and side photos, IDOC number, parent institution, offender status, location, VINE link, physical profile, marks, admission date, projected parole or discharge dates, and sentencing rows.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Radio option plus text input | Yes if selected | Examples include Smith, John; Smith; or Smit. |
| IDOC Number | Radio option plus text input | Yes if selected | Example format: K01234. |
| Birthdate | Radio option plus text input | Yes if selected | Example format: 04-01-1965. |
| Find | Submit | Yes | No login is required for the public search form. |
Stark County Jail Services
The 2023 inspection gives several service facts that matter before sending money, mail, or visit requests. Telephone service is provided by Encartel, Inc. Commissary is not provided at the jail, and the jail provides postage at no charge. Meals are prepared onsite by licensed jail staff. A health department nurse handles intake screenings and sick call, a local hospital is used for emergency or beyond-scope care, and North Central Mental Health provides mental-health services.
Mail standards address contraband screening, privileged mail, outgoing non-privileged mail, packages and books, and notice when mail is withheld. No official local mail-address template or phone-rate table was located, so the jail should confirm the current format before family or counsel sends mail.
