Didn't They Just Send You a Raven with Their Booking Info?
Technology is amazing, but apparently, ravens for inmate communication are not quite there yet. Fear not, there are a few ways to unearth your quarry's whereabouts:
- The DeKalb County Sheriff's Website: This is your best bet. The Sheriff's Office keeps an inmate roster [warning: may not be as exciting as a pirate treasure map] online that you can search by last name, first name (or even just the first initial, if you're feeling fancy), or booking number.
- Phone a Friend (The Sheriff's Office, Not Your Gossip Buddy): If the website isn't cooperating, you can always call the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office directly at 815-895-4177 or 815-895-7260. Don't worry, they won't judge you for asking (probably).
Important Note: Just because someone isn't on the roster doesn't automatically mean they're Indiana Jones-ing their way out of jail. It might just mean they haven't been processed yet.
