Pittsfield Work Camp Release Paths
Pittsfield Work Camp is an Illinois Department of Corrections minimum-security work camp. Jacksonville Correctional Center is its parent institution. That parent and satellite structure matters in every search. A result may name Jacksonville as the parent while showing Pittsfield as a location, or it may later show a different IDOC site. A location change alone is not a release. It can be an internal transfer while the person remains incarcerated.
Leaving Pittsfield can lead to another IDOC facility, mandatory supervised release, old-law parole where applicable, or final discharge. Mandatory supervised release, often shortened to MSR, is time in the community under IDOC supervision after prison. Parole serves a similar supervised role for the smaller population governed by older sentence law. Discharge means the relevant IDOC custody and supervision relationship has ended. The actual status and history determine which event occurred.
| IDOC event | Meaning | Proof to seek |
|---|---|---|
| New institution or location | Continued IDOC custody | Current IDOC profile |
| Projected parole date | An estimate, not a completed event | Later status or release history |
| Parole or MSR | Release from prison with supervision | IDOC status and PRB notice |
| Discharge | End of the relevant IDOC status | IDOC record or discharge order |
Search Pittsfield Work Camp Records
The authoritative public starting point is the IDOC Individual in Custody Search. Use the IDOC number when known because it is more precise than a name. The current form also offers last-name and birthdate routes. A Pike County booking number is not an IDOC number. Check identity with more than one attribute, then read parent institution, current location or status, admission and release information, sentence rows, and any projected parole or MSR fields together.
IDOC says publicly disclosable information about current or former individuals can include name, IDOC number, parent institution, location or status, vital statistics, admission and release dates, and sentencing information. Yet its FAQ also warns that the live search practically returns people currently incarcerated or on parole. A fully discharged person may no longer appear. No result therefore cannot prove a release date, final discharge, or lack of prior IDOC custody.
- Open the IDOC search and enter the IDOC number if available.
- Otherwise follow the current last-name or birthdate prompts.
- Match identity details before opening or relying on a profile.
- Compare parent institution with the current location and status.
- Separate projected dates, transfers, supervised release, and completed discharge.
- Use IDOC Record Search or FOIA if a known discharged record is absent.

The form view reinforces why the right state identifier and careful identity matching matter before interpreting a result.
Confirm Pittsfield Camp Release Status
A completed release is confirmed by an actual IDOC release or admission history, a current parole or MSR status, an official notice, or a responsive state record. A formerly projected date is not enough. Sentence credit, disciplinary changes, detainers, court action, or recalculation can change the expected date. Likewise, departure from the camp may only mean return to Jacksonville or movement elsewhere in IDOC.
Illinois VINE offers a separate notification and status layer for participating IDOC data. Search for the person, verify the source and identity, and compare the displayed update with the IDOC record. VINE can alert a registered user to release, transfer, or status change, but it receives information downstream. If the systems conflict, IDOC owns the corrections record. For parole conditions, hearings, and specified notices, consult the Illinois Prisoner Review Board.
- Parent institution
- The main IDOC facility responsible for a satellite location such as Pittsfield Work Camp.
- Projected parole date
- An estimated institutional release date that can change.
- Mandatory supervised release
- Community supervision that follows the prison portion of many modern Illinois sentences.
- Discharge
- The end of the applicable corrections custody and supervision status.
Pittsfield Release Record Requests
When a known former IDOC individual no longer appears online, use IDOC's Record Search contact route with a full name, date of birth, approximate reception year, prior facility, conviction county, and other known incarceration dates. Ask for narrow public fields such as admission date, release date, status, parent institution, and sentencing information. IDOC distinguishes those fields from confidential master-file material. A formal request through IDOC FOIA is another route for an existing public record.
The IDOC FOIA officer is listed at Illinois Department of Corrections, 1301 Concordia Court, P.O. Box 19277, Springfield, IL 62794-9277. The telephone is 217-558-2200 extension 4166, fax is 217-558-5612, and email is DOC.FOIARequest@illinois.gov. IDOC states that the first 50 black-and-white letter or legal pages are free, with additional pages at $0.15 each. Color and other media may cost no more than actual reproduction. Ask for electronic records and a cost notice when suitable.

A former person's IDOC photograph is not a promised record-request fallback. IDOC's published policy treats former-individual photographs as confidential. Keep the request centered on public admission, status, release, and sentence fields.
Two Pittsfield Release Systems
Pittsfield contains two distinct corrections systems. The Pike County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail, while IDOC runs Pittsfield Work Camp under Jacksonville Correctional Center. The sheriff's Weekly Arrests report covers county jail episodes. It does not document work-camp movement or state-prison release. IDOC search and records cover the work camp. A shared city does not create shared records.
This distinction prevents a common error. A name missing from the Pike sheriff report says nothing about a person's work-camp status. Conversely, an IDOC no-result is not the right test for someone whose only custody was a short county booking. When the last known site is uncertain, classify the agency first. The Pike County release search and records overview separates the county, state, VINE, court, and federal paths.
The successful facility image comes from IDOC's Jacksonville Correctional Center page, which identifies Pittsfield Work Camp within the parent structure.
The parent-page capture shows why a state search may organize Pittsfield records under Jacksonville rather than the county sheriff.
Pittsfield Camp Supervised Releases
A person outside the work camp may remain in IDOC's search because parole or MSR continues. Modern Illinois determinate sentences commonly lead to MSR after the prison term less applicable credit. Traditional parole mainly concerns older indeterminate sentences. Use the status actually shown. Do not call every supervised release parole, and do not treat either parole or MSR as final discharge.
The IDOC Parole Division supervises people in the community. PRB sets release conditions and handles specified hearings, revocation matters, and notice. Public confirmation should remain at the status and agency level; agent notes, approved residences, and sensitive supervision details may not be public. A scheduled PRB hearing also does not promise release. Confirm the event after it occurs through IDOC history or an official notification.
Illinois VINE help is available at 866-566-8439 with round-the-clock support. IDOC Victim Services publishes 877-776-0755 during weekday business hours. These channels assist with notice and status questions, while the IDOC record remains the basis for the release or discharge history.
Pittsfield Work Camp Details
The work camp is minimum security and parented by Jacksonville Correctional Center. IDOC's parent page reports the Pittsfield population within the broader parent structure rather than publishing a separate local sheriff-style release log. No independent public street address, direct release-processing line, or daily release schedule was established in the research. The live IDOC facility and contact pages should control current visiting and contact arrangements.
That lack of a local release feed does not justify substituting Pike County's weekly jail report. Use the state profile first, preserve the displayed status and dates, and request IDOC's durable record when the profile is gone or unclear. The result should answer the exact event: transfer, institutional release to supervision, or final discharge.

Note: The research identified no separate county release report for this state facility, so all release claims must remain tied to IDOC evidence.
