Where Shelby County Records Live
For county jail custody or an SCSO record, contact the Shelby County Sheriff's Office and Shelby County Jail at 151 N. Morgan St., Shelbyville, IL 62565, phone 217-774-3941. Written record requests may be addressed to SCSO FOIA Officer Erica Bailey at that address. The public research did not verify separate jail-office hours, so call before visiting. The Shelby County Courthouse at 301 E. Main Street lists weekday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for court matters.
- For a booking record or photograph, the home page explains the written SCSO FOIA request route.
- For current county custody, call the Shelby County Sheriff's Office because no official public roster was found.
