Peoria Inmate Search refers to the process of looking up information about inmates who are currently imprisoned in the Peoria County Jail.
This can be done through various online inmate search portals such as the Peoria County Sheriff’s Office website.
The Peoria County Jail Roster Lookup is another online tool that allows the public to access information about inmates in the detention center.
The jail allows personal letters or documents to be sent to the inmate by mail, but all money orders and cashier checks must be made payable to the inmate.
