Cumberland County Inmate Population Overview
The Cumberland County inmate population is not spread across a complex jail network. Official sources identify one local detention facility for this build: Cumberland County Jail, operated by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office in Toledo. No separate county work-release building, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, or municipal jail roster was located inside Cumberland County. Municipal arrests, such as those made by Neoga Police, are treated as county jail bookings after transfer unless the person is only held briefly before intake.
The population count changes with local arrests, first appearances, pretrial release decisions, local jail sentences, warrants, detainers, court transports, and transfers. A person can leave the county roster because of release, transfer to IDOC, another-county custody, medical or court transport, federal or ICE custody, or record suppression. That is why the lookup process has to follow the custody type, not just the county name.
The strongest local population source is IDOC's county jail inspection material. It gives capacity, building, housing, staffing, and an inspection-day custody snapshot. It does not provide a current average daily population, annual bookings, average length of stay, or a full race and age demographic table for Cumberland County Jail.
Cumberland County Inmate Population Statistics
The best sourced figures show a small rural county jail. The 2023 IDOC inspection lists Cumberland County Jail as a 33-bed facility with 27 male beds and 6 female beds. It found 13 people in custody on October 27, 2023, with 12 male detainees and 1 female detainee. The Illinois Sheriffs' Association profile also lists 33 jail beds and gives broader county context.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 33 total beds | IDOC 2023 inspection; Illinois Sheriffs' Association profile |
| Male and female capacity | 27 male, 6 female | IDOC 2023 inspection |
| Juvenile beds | 0 male, 0 female | IDOC 2023 inspection |
| Inspection-day population | 13 total, 12 male, 1 female | October 27, 2023 IDOC inspection |
| County population | 10,750 | Illinois Sheriffs' Association Cumberland County profile |
| Annual bookings | Not located | Checked sheriff, county, and IDOC sources |
| Current jail ADP | Not located | Inspection snapshot found, not annual ADP |
Cumberland County Inmate Population Trends
The available trend picture is limited but still useful. A historical 2013 jail figure found through high-authority jail census data listed Cumberland County Jail average daily population as 10. The 2023 IDOC inspection recorded 13 people in custody on one day. The 2024 IDOC inspection was available for current vendors and programs, but the accessible research lines did not capture a population count. No official current daily population or annual booking total was located.
| Year or Source Date | Population / Capacity Figure | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 jail census source | ADP 10 | Historical average daily population benchmark, not current custody. |
| October 27, 2023 IDOC inspection | 13 in custody / 33 capacity | One-day inspection snapshot, not annual ADP. |
| 2024 IDOC inspection | Population line not extracted | Used for vendors, programs, visits, and operations details. |
| 2025 or current | Not published in located official source | Do not infer from an empty roster or statewide data. |
Statewide data can add Illinois context but cannot fill a Cumberland County gap. IDOC's FY25 Annual Report lists a statewide average daily prison population of 29,027, and the Prison Policy Initiative reports an Illinois incarceration rate of 433 per 100,000 residents. Those numbers describe statewide systems, not the Cumberland County jail count.
Cumberland County Inmate Population Makeup
The most detailed official local demographic snapshot located is the 2023 IDOC inspection-day count. It listed 12 male detainees and 1 female detainee, with no juveniles. The jail's rated design also separates male and female capacity, with 27 male beds and 6 female beds. Official race, age, pretrial or sentenced split, felony or misdemeanor split, annual admissions, and average length-of-stay breakdowns were not found in the Cumberland County source set.
- Pretrial detainee
- A person held before conviction or final case disposition.
- Sentenced inmate
- A person serving a jail or prison sentence after conviction and sentence.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that can affect release.
- Farm-out location
- A roster field for an outside holding location or transfer arrangement if used.
Cumberland County Jail Capacity
Cumberland County Jail was built in 1997. The IDOC 2023 inspection describes a compact facility with 11 double cells, one 6-person dorm, three single detention rooms, and two single holding cells. On the 2023 inspection date, the 13-person snapshot was below the 33-bed rated capacity. That fact should be read narrowly. It supports "below capacity on the inspection date," not a claim that the jail is always below capacity or that overcrowding cannot occur.
No official overcrowding order, consent decree, jail closure plan, or county-specific overcrowding litigation was located in the official-source searches. The 2023 inspection did record improvement notes, including shoes, sheets, and blankets purchased; a library television for discovery viewing; a dorm security mirror; washer purchase; phone moved to booking; cell-slider repairs; toilet repairs; a dedicated transport vehicle; and tablet plans that later aligned with Encartele/CIDNET tablet service in 2024.
Laws Governing Cumberland County Inmates
Illinois law explains why the Cumberland County inmate population is partly visible through public records and state inspection reports. FOIA is the general access law, but it is not unlimited. County jail laws and IDOC monitoring laws explain the local jail's existence, inspection, and recordkeeping context. Jail information can be public while juvenile, sealed, medical, mental-health, victim, security, or active-investigation material remains restricted.
Key statutes:
5 ILCS 140 is Illinois FOIA, the main law for public inspection and copying of non-exempt records.
730 ILCS 125 is the County Jail Act, which frames county responsibility for jail facilities and prisoner-list context.
730 ILCS 5/3-15-2 authorizes IDOC standards and annual monitoring of local jails.
20 Ill. Admin. Code Part 701 sets county jail standards for admission, orientation, release, safety, records, and medical practices.
Search Cumberland County Inmates
The lookup side of the Cumberland County inmate population starts with the BlueHorse Cumberland County roster. The roster is name-oriented for current inmates. It also exposes past-inmate fields such as Perm Id, State Id, date range, and a Books 24hr button, but those features may be public only when facility settings allow them. The roster can show a blank list, loading state, or empty result before service data appears.
- Search the current inmate tab by last name, then add first name if needed.
- Open the profile and review charges, bonds, detainers, incarceration info, inmate information, and court fields if enabled.
- Use the case number or OTN to bridge from booking records to court records.
- If the person is newly booked, released, transferred, or missing, call the jail at (217) 849-2571.
- If the person was sentenced to prison, move to the IDOC locator instead of repeating the county roster search.
Cumberland County Roster Fields
The current-inmate area is simpler than the past search. The past-inmate form is useful for released or recent bookings only if public access is enabled. The roster also has an agency login, which is not needed for normal public viewing and should not be treated as a public records portal.
| Field Label | Type | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Current or past search | Helpful after a last-name search narrows results. |
| Last Name | Text | Current or past search | Best first field for most searches. |
| Perm Id | Text | Past search | Identifier field if known. |
| State Id | Text | Past search | May help with an identified person. |
| Start and End Date | Date text | Past search | Date range for prior or recent booking search. |
| Books 24hr | Button | Recent bookings | Official vendor control, subject to facility settings. |

Cumberland County Inmate Record Details
A Cumberland County inmate record can include several categories of data. The profile may show name, booking number, jacket number, photo, demographic fields, charges, bonds, detainers, housing, court rows, and prior bookings if those modules are enabled. Some fields, such as FBI, INS, KOMS, Tomis, address, phone, and detainers, are sensitive or agency-style fields that may be blank or restricted for public users.
| Profile Area | Fields That May Appear |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, gender, DOB, height, weight, race, hair, eye color, build, nationality. |
| Booking | Booking number, jacket number, state ID, book date, release date, arrest agency. |

| Housing | Building, pod, cell, bed, and farm-out location if used. |
| Court | Court, date, room, and hearing type, not the full court docket. |
County Jail vs State Prison Search
The Cumberland County inmate population page must separate local jail custody from state and federal custody. A person charged in Cumberland County may start in the jail, then later be released, sentenced locally, transferred to IDOC, moved to another county, or held on another agency's detainer. A roster disappearance does not prove release.
| System | Covers | Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Cumberland County roster | Local jail bookings, pretrial custody, short sentences, holds. | Most sentenced state prisoners after transfer. |
| IDOC locator | Sentenced Illinois state custody and prison records. | Fresh county jail arrests. |
| Illinois VINE | Custody alerts and notification registration. | Full booking sheets or court files. |
| BOP locator | Federal inmates from 1982 forward and BOP custody fields. | All federal pretrial or local jail holds. |
| ICE ODLS | Current ICE detainee search by A-number or biographic data. | County mugshots or court dockets. |
Cumberland County Detention Facility
Only one detention facility is part of the Cumberland County facility map. Cumberland County Jail is operated by the Sheriff's Office and holds adults arrested in the county, pretrial detainees, short-sentence jail inmates, and temporary holds. No local state prison, federal BOP institution, ICE facility, or municipal jail roster was found.
- Cumberland County Jail - county jail for local booking, pretrial custody, local sentences, warrants, and transfer holds.
The county government sheriff page is the cleanest public contact source for Sheriff Steve Maroon, the Courthouse Square address, and the jail phone number.
The county page supports the contact details used when a roster search fails or a written records request is needed.
Cumberland County Jail Conditions
The 2024 IDOC report gives the clearest current operations picture. Medical screenings are provided by Cumberland County Health Department, mental-health screenings by LifeLinks Mental Health, and dental services by Effingham Dental Group. Meals are prepared on-site by jail staff. Encartele/CIDNET provides telephone, texting, tablets, and video visits, while Stellar Services provides commissary. GED materials come from Lake Land College, substance-abuse screenings for judge, court, or sentencing use come from Hour House, and law-library resources include Illinois Compiled Statutes through a kiosk.
For visitors and families, the useful confirmed details are narrow. On-site visits are available Wednesday and Saturday, religious volunteer phone calls and visits are available on request, and current fees or exact visit hours were not located. Call the jail before scheduling travel, mailing items, or sending money.
