How to Find Someone in Macon County Jail

Macon County Jail has their jail roster available for the public to do an inmate search. It is available on the Macon County Jail official website.

Unlike other jail rosters, the Macon County Jail roster is a little bit different. It’s essentially an excel sheet that you can sort by either the inmates last name or by their date confined. You cannot search directly for an inmate or other identifying personal information.

When doing a successful inmate search, you will be able to find their personal identifying information alongside what agency arrested them, where they were arrested, what charges they have (present and past) and their Illinois mugshot.
