Gallatin County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm who is in custody, confirm a release, release anyone, post bond, or pull an official arrest or booking record. For a current answer or a copy, contact the government office that created or holds the record.
Where Gallatin Records Are Held
Gallatin County has no county jail listed in the Illinois Sheriffs' Association directory. The sheriff or a city police department may hold the arrest report, while a receiving facility may hold the physical booking, release, or transfer record. The following offices are the best documented starting points for the record type shown.
Gallatin County Sheriff's Office
484 North Lincoln Boulevard East
P.O. Box 340
Shawneetown, IL 62984
618-269-3137
Weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Ask which office holds the arrest report, booking photo, or transfer record, and confirm the current FOIA officer and request method before sending a written request.
Saline County Sheriff's Office / Detention Center
1 North Main Street
Harrisburg, IL 62946
618-252-8661
The official page says the office is available 24/7 and includes a Submit (FOIA) Request control.

Ask for the case number, docket, filed charge, disposition, or an expungement or sealing order. Confirm the current copy fees and filing rules.
For Ridgway and Equality, current police contact details and records-request procedures require confirmation with the relevant village or the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office. Do not rely on an undated directory entry when mailing a request.
Use the record-specific path below when the question is not held by a local office.
- For a Gallatin booking photo or arrest record, start with the county-wide search and records path, then ask the Gallatin Sheriff whether another agency or receiving facility is the custodian.
- For a recent arrest, remember that no verified Gallatin public roster or booking feed was found. A missing online listing does not prove that no arrest occurred.
- For a case result after booking, use the Circuit Clerk's official county application and its court-case search route, or call 618-269-3140.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or person on parole, search the IDOC offender database. IDOC is not the Gallatin booking system.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. It does not provide a public mugshot field.
- For immigration detention, use the official ICE Online Detainee Locator. It is separate from county and state custody records.
- For official wanted or warrant information, use the county's Most Wanted instructions and follow the listed law-enforcement or court route rather than relying on an unofficial page.
