Search the Kendall County Jail Roster Online

Kendall County runs an online inmate search at inmate.co.kendall.il.us. This tool lets you look up anyone currently held on the Kendall County jail roster. Search by name to pull up results. Each record shows the inmate's photo, full name, custody status, scheduled release date (if one is set), race, gender, height, weight, and housing facility.

One thing that stands out about the Kendall County jail roster is the housing facility field. Not every inmate is held at the Kendall County Public Safety Center. Some are housed at Kane County Jail instead. The search results will tell you which facility the person is at right now. This is helpful if you plan to visit or need to send something to an inmate. You need to know the right building, not just the right county. The Kendall County roster makes that clear for each person listed.

The Kendall County inmate search page shows current detainees with photos, custody status, and their housing facility location.

This tool is free to use and updated as people are booked into or released from the Kendall County system.

Note: If the person's housing facility shows Kane County Jail, contact Kane County for visit rules and deposit info instead of Kendall County.

Kendall County Jail Roster Record Details

Each entry on the Kendall County jail roster gives you a solid picture of who is in custody. The photo is included, which sets this apart from some other counties in Illinois that only show text data. You get the person's race, gender, height, and weight. The scheduled release date field tells you when someone is expected to get out, if a date has been set by the court. Not all inmates have a release date listed. Some are waiting for trial and have no set end to their time in custody at the Kendall County jail.

The custody status field is simple. It shows "Yes" if the person is currently in the jail. The name format is last name first, then first name and middle name. For example, a record might read "AGUIRRE OCHOA, PABLO" with a status of "Yes" and housing at Kendall County Public Safety Center. Another entry might show a different inmate with a scheduled release of 6/29/2027 who is housed at Kane County Jail. These details help you confirm you have the right person on the Kendall County jail roster and figure out where to direct your next step.

Kendall County Sheriff's Office Contact

The Kendall County Sheriff's Office is at 1108 Cornell Avenue, Yorkville, IL 60560. Call (630) 553-7300 to reach the office. This is the same address as the Kendall County Public Safety Center where most jail roster inmates are held.

If you need info that the online search does not show, call the sheriff's office. Staff can tell you about bond amounts, court dates, and how to post bail for someone on the Kendall County jail roster. They can also help if the online tool is down or if you cannot find the person you are looking for. Sometimes an inmate has been released or transferred, and the online system may not reflect that change right away in Kendall County.

For inmates held at Kane County Jail on behalf of Kendall County, you may need to contact both agencies. Kendall County handles the charges and court dates. Kane County handles the day-to-day custody at their facility. This split can be confusing, but the Kendall County jail roster will at least tell you which building the person is at right now.

Public Records and Kendall County Jail Access

Jail records are public in Illinois. This includes the Kendall County jail roster. Under 5 ILCS 140, arrest reports must be given out within 72 hours. They have to include the person's name, age, address, charges, and the time and place of arrest. If the person is in custody, the record must also show when they were received or released. Kendall County follows the same FOIA rules as every other county in the state.

You can file a FOIA request with the Kendall County Sheriff's Office if the online search does not cover what you need. Send a written request to the Cornell Avenue address in Yorkville. Expect a response within five business days. The Unified Code of Corrections at 730 ILCS 5 governs state-level records, and county jails operate under this same legal framework in Illinois.

Section 7 of the FOIA has exemptions. Records that could put people at risk or compromise jail security may be held back. Victim data is often redacted. But the basic jail roster data for Kendall County, names, charges, booking dates, is open to anyone.

Note: FOIA requests work best when you include the inmate's full name and an approximate booking date for faster processing in Kendall County.
