The Judges
Illinois circuit judges are elected on a partisan ballot and then stand for retention every six years (60% yes needed); associate judges are appointed by the circuit judges. They are state judicial officers, not county officials. Since 18 September 2023 Illinois has no cash bail — judges decide pretrial release or detention at a hearing.

Notes on the record
- Sheriff page gives contact details and civil-process service fees ($44–$104 by mileage) but nothing on the jail itself.
- FY2026 county budget shows 'Dept: 55 - SHERIFF' with $2,212,850.00 in the expenditure-total line; no separate jail department.
- Budget index page lists adopted budgets for FY2017–FY2026.
- State inspection/oversight: IDOC Jail and Detention Standards Unit, inspected 20 Nov 2025: rated capacity 22, population 10 that day; noncompliances: 'There are times when only one officer is on duty. Staffing levels need review for appropriate coverage.' and 'Individual cells must be secured during night hours between designated lights out and morning.'
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Bond County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
How much is your sheriff — and your judge — costing you?
