IDOC's general number is 217-558-2200; Parole is 800-666-6744; Constituent Services uses DOC.Constituent.Services@illinois.gov; IDOC FOIA uses DOC.FOIARequest@doc.illinois.gov.

For sentenced federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. Federal pretrial detention and release orders belong in the federal docket or USMS record.
