No Stark County Three-Day Feed
The official Sheriff page carries contact details and inspection links. It does not carry a current roster, archived booking list, or recent-release view. The county sitemap also exposes no 72-hour release report. Stark County therefore supplies no feed URL, no update cadence, and no stated online retention window.
This finding is separate from the missing same-day list. Some counties publish one window but not the other. Stark publishes neither. A three-day review has to be assembled by asking for release events within exact dates and matching them to court and receiving-agency records.
Build a Stark 72-Hour Check
Define the period before calling. Use exact start and end dates and times rather than “the last few days,” especially when the span crosses midnight or a holiday. Then follow a source-by-source method:
- Call the Stark County Sheriff at 309-286-2541 and ask about releases within the stated period.
- For each person, request the release timestamp, authority or type, and destination or transfer agency.
- Search Judici with Stark County selected for the court order, case minute, disposition, sentence, or mittimus.
- Identify an off-site holding jail when the docket shows remote proceedings or the Sheriff confirms outside custody.
- Use VINE only as corroboration or notification, and verify any result with its named reporting agency.
- Send a narrow FOIA request for the release-log entries when a written three-day record is needed.
The Released Last 24 Hours page narrows this process to today. It is better for an urgent same-day question, while the three-day method is better for events that may have crossed nonbusiness days.
Fields for Stark Three-Day Records
There is no online field list to reproduce. Instead, ask the Sheriff for the native booking and release-log fields that identify each event. The requested details should distinguish a true community release from movement to another custodian.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Full legal name and booking number | The person and precise jail episode. |
| Admission date and time | When Stark custody began for that booking. |
| Release date and time | When staff processed departure from that jail. |
| Release authority | The court, sentence, or authority supporting departure. |
| Release type or reason | Pretrial release, dismissal, time served, completion, or another event. |
| Holds | Whether another authority could continue custody. |
| Destination or receiving agency | Whether the person entered the community or another system. |
The inspection framework also calls for a release date, time, and authority plus an itemized property receipt. Request the actual record. The checklist alone does not prove that a field was completed in a particular case.
Stark Weekend Release Boundaries
Research did not establish Stark Jail's release-processing hours, weekend practice, exit point, or holiday schedule. Do not infer them from another Illinois county. A judge's order time, a docket posting time, and the jail's physical release time can differ. Staff may also need to resolve identity, paperwork, transport, or a separate hold before the person leaves.
A three-day range is useful because it contains more than one calendar day, but it does not cure missing evidence. Record the exact timestamp from the release log. If the docket says release on Friday and the physical jail entry says Saturday, preserve both labels rather than forcing them into one date. Ask the custodian to explain any unresolved gap.
Note: A future court date, payment entry, or missing web result does not establish that jail processing is complete.
Request Stark County Release Logs
Use the county's optional FOIA form or send a clear written request to the Stark County Clerk FOIA Officer, 130 W. Main Street, PO Box 97, Toulon, IL 61483. Contact details are 309-286-5911, fax 309-286-4039, and clerk@starkco.illinois.gov. Consult or copy the Sheriff at 130 W. Jefferson Street, PO Box 610, Toulon, because the Sheriff maintains the jail record.
Name the exact 72-hour range. Ask for native electronic release-log entries, not “all inmate records.” Include release date and time, authority, type, holds, and destination. Illinois FOIA generally requires a response or denial within five business days for a noncommercial request, with a statutory extension available. A denial should identify the exemption and review rights. Ask for all segregable, nonexempt fields.
For a named person rather than a period review, the Stark County released inmate search path explains when to use IDOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, or a court record. Those systems cover different custody. None substitutes for Stark's local log when the person was never committed to that system.
Stark Release or Custody Transfer
Pretrial release ends jail detention but not the criminal case. Time served or sentence completion ends the stated jail term, subject to other holds. Transfer or commitment to IDOC ends the Stark episode but begins state custody. A handoff to another county, federal authority, or ICE is not a community release.
For an IDOC commitment, search the official state record by IDOC number or exact name and preserve each date label. An IDOC parole or MSR status can show release from prison to supervision. It does not state when a person left Stark Jail. For federal and immigration transfers, use the agency-specific locator and actual holding facility.
Stark Release Retention Has No Web Rule
Stark County publishes no period during which a released name remains online because it publishes no release roster at all. The Sheriff's page and sitemap support that negative finding. An unofficial directory cannot fill the gap or establish a county-backed retention rule.
If an older release record is unavailable, ask the Sheriff to identify the applicable Local Records Commission schedule and any disposition authority. Court minutes may last beyond a jail display and can explain the legal result, but they are not a live headcount. Match the durable docket to the release timestamp and any receiving agency record.
Match Stark Release Evidence
Three records can describe the same weekend event from different points of view. The Stark court order states what the judge authorized. The physical jail log states when staff ended that facility's custody. A receiving-agency record states whether another authority then took control. Keep all three timestamps and agency names when they differ.
Identity also needs care over a three-day period. Use a booking or case number where possible, and compare lawful identifiers rather than joining records on a common name alone. Ask each office to define unfamiliar fields. “Release,” “transfer,” “commitment,” “parole,” and “discharge” describe different events. A matched set is stronger than any one entry because it answers who was held, which authority acted, what ended that custody, and where the person went next.
VINE may add a recent source-agency event or notification, but it is not a permanent archive. A delayed alert should prompt a call to the named agency. Likewise, IDOC can confirm state prison or MSR status only when that system took custody or supervision. Neither tool creates a Stark County 72-hour feed.
