Greene County Inmate Population Snapshot
The Greene County inmate population centers on the Greene County Jail in Carrollton. The sheriff's office operates that jail for local arrest, booking, pretrial detention, misdemeanor-sentence custody, and other short-term county jail cases. A second detention facility, Greene County Work Camp in Roodhouse, is physically in Greene County but is run by the Illinois Department of Corrections. Its count belongs to the state prison system, not the sheriff's local jail roster.
The strongest local population figures come from the Greene County sheriff's jail page and the 2024 IDOC jail inspection. The sheriff page lists the Greene County Jail as a 21-bed facility with a current average daily population of 13. IDOC's inspection on November 7, 2024 recorded 9 people in custody that day: 8 male and 1 female. Those are different measures, so they should be read together rather than treated as competing counts.
Greene County Inmate Population Statistics
Official Greene County inmate population data is narrow but useful. It shows a small rural jail operating below rated capacity in the sources reviewed. The county's average daily population of 13 equals about 62 percent of the 21-bed capacity. The inspection-date count of 9 equals about 43 percent of that capacity. These rates are simple calculations from official figures, not separately published county rate measures.
The Greene County Sheriff's Office page is the local source for the 21-bed capacity and average daily population. The IDOC 2024 Greene County Jail inspection is the source for the inspection-date population, male and female capacity split, cell count, and annual standards review.

Greene County Inmate Population Trends
Greene County does not have a public multi-year jail dashboard in the sources reviewed. The available trend picture is built from point-in-time county, Census, and IDOC facts. The county population has declined from the 2010 Census to the 2024 estimate, while the jail sources show a very small current jail population below capacity. A change of only a few people can shift the local rate, so raw counts are more useful than dramatic rate language.
| Year / Date | Population or ADP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 Census | 13,886 county residents | County population baseline, not jail population. |
| 2020 Census | 11,985 county residents | County population declined from 2010. |
| Nov. 7, 2024 | 9 in Greene County Jail | IDOC inspection-date count. |
| July 1, 2024 | 11,417 county residents | Census county estimate. |
| 2025 sheriff page | 13 jail ADP | County-reported average daily jail population. |
| June 30, 2024 | 0 at Greene County Work Camp | IDOC state facility population. |
Greene County Jail Capacity
The Greene County Jail is a compact local facility. The county says it was constructed in 1974 and had major renovations in 2024. IDOC's inspection lists one floor of detention, one single cell, ten double cells, and an isolation/drunk tank. The formal capacity line lists 21 total capacity, with 16 male beds, 4 female beds, and no juvenile capacity. That local cell inventory is more precise than a generic jail-pod description.
No official overcrowding lawsuit, consent decree, release order, or capacity emergency was located in the research set. The county-reported ADP of 13 and IDOC inspection count of 9 both sit below the jail's 21-bed capacity. The supported local framing is a small rural jail population with concrete inspection details, not an overcrowding story.
Laws Governing Greene County Inmates
Greene County jail population and booking access sit under Illinois public-records law, the County Jail Act, IDOC jail inspection statutes, county jail standards, and death-in-custody reporting law. These laws do not create a Greene County online roster. They do explain why the jail keeps records, why inspections happen, and why arrest-report information can be requested from the proper office.
Key Statutes:
730 ILCS 125 makes the sheriff the county jail warden and requires a permanent calendar of committed persons.
730 ILCS 5/3-15-2 and 3-15-3 establish IDOC jail monitoring and annual county jail inspection work.
20 Ill. Admin. Code Part 701 sets county jail standards for records, admission, release, classification, mail, visiting, medical care, and commissary.
5 ILCS 140/2.15 governs public arrest-report information, including a photograph when and if available, subject to statutory exceptions.
Greene County State Prison Population
The Greene County Work Camp is a state corrections facility, not a county jail annex. IDOC lists it as a minimum-security adult male work camp with operational capacity of 200 and population 0 as of June 30, 2024. It is tied to Jacksonville Correctional Center as the parent institution. People assigned to the work camp are searched through the statewide IDOC locator rather than the sheriff's jail contact path.
The work camp's history matters because it can confuse local searches. It began as the Greene County Impact Incarceration Program, a military-style boot camp, opened in 1993, closed in 2002, reopened in 2004 as a work camp, shifted again in 2013, and reopened as a work camp in 2014. The facility is in Greene County, but its records, visiting rules, mail format, phone services, and money procedures follow IDOC rules.
Search Greene County Inmate Population
There is no single official Greene County jail roster form to open. The official search process is a routing decision. Start with the sheriff when the person may be in the local jail. Use Judici when the question is about filed charges or court dates. Use IDOC when the person has been sentenced to state custody or is at the work camp. Use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE only when the case is federal or immigration-related.
- Call the Greene County Sheriff's Office and Jail at 217-942-6901 for current local custody.
- Ask whether the person is held, released, transferred, or under another agency hold.
- File the county FOIA request form for booking records, arrest reports, or historical jail records not provided by phone.
- Search Judici for Greene County court case status after charges are filed.
- Search IDOC by last name, IDOC number, or birthdate for sentenced state custody.
- Use VINELink for custody status notifications and federal locators for federal or immigration custody.
Current Greene County Inmate Lookup
Current Greene County inmate lookup depends on the sheriff because no official online roster was located. A caller should provide the full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case number. Ask staff whether the person is in custody, released, transferred to IDOC, held for another county, under federal control, or subject to an immigration detainer. Those answers determine the next locator.
| Search Route | Fields or Details | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Greene County Jail | Phone or in-person details; no web form located | Current local custody and release or transfer status. |
| Judici | Court, name last-first, or case number | Court dates and case status after arrest. |
| IDOC | Last name, IDOC number, or birthdate | State prison custody, parole, and work camp status. |
| BOP | Name, register number, DCDC number, FBI number, or INS number | Federal sentenced custody from 1982 forward. |
| ICE ODLS | A-number or biographical search | ICE custody or CBP custody after more than 48 hours. |
Greene County Inmate Record Fields
The jail record fields are not visible through an official county web roster, but state standards and the 2024 inspection show what the jail maintains internally. Records can include identity, commitment authority, booking photo, fingerprints, charges or cause of commitment, arresting agency, property receipt, screening records, housing classification, visitor records, discipline, case disposition, judge, court, and release or transfer details. Public release is narrower than internal recordkeeping.
- Booking photo
- The intake photograph; Illinois FOIA includes a photograph when and if available in arrest-report information.
- Commitment
- The legal authority placing a person in jail custody.
- Pretrial detainee
- A person held after arrest while the court case is pending.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release.
- Disposition
- The court outcome or status, such as dismissed, guilty, amended, or pending.
Greene County Detention Facilities
Facility routing is simple but important. The Greene County Jail is the primary county inmate population facility. The Greene County Work Camp is a state facility within the county's borders. Their records, visiting, mail, money, and lookup systems differ.
- Greene County Jail holds local arrests, pretrial detainees, local sentenced cases, and other sheriff custody at 403 Seventh Street in Carrollton.
- Greene County Work Camp is an IDOC minimum-security adult male work camp in Roodhouse, searched through IDOC, not the county jail.
Greene County Court and Mugshot Records
Court records after a Greene County jail arrest are separate from jail booking records. The State's Attorney files or proceeds on formal charges, and the Circuit Clerk maintains court files. County officials direct the public to Judici for 24-hour case status and upcoming court dates. Booking photos are different again. No official Greene County online mugshot gallery was located, so booking photos should be requested through the sheriff or county FOIA path when available under Illinois law.
The court records after jail arrest page covers Judici, the Circuit Clerk, State's Attorney, warrants, and no-cash-bail context. The jail roster mugshots page covers booking photos, FOIA 2.15, and why a photo may not appear online.
Greene County Case Search Image
The county's State's Attorney and Public Defender pages point the public to Judici, and the captured Greene County Judici case-search page shows the practical court-record access route after a jail arrest.
Judici does not replace a jail custody check, but it is the local path for charges, case status, and court dates once a court case exists.
