The State of Illinois Department of Corrections web site allows you to look up inmates by last name, date of birth or inmate number.  This will allow you to see information and a picture.

If he's in federal prison, go to the Bureau of Prisons web site and check out their inmate locator.   If he's in state prison, then go to that state's department of corrections web site, and same thing.

Spend a little time with your state's department of corrections website.  Most of them have some form of inmate locator which you can use to see if he is still incarcerated.

Try this website:  http://www.bop.gov (Federal Bureau of Prisons website -- if the inmate is incarcerated in a Federal jail, you'll be able to find him/her by using their inmate search function).  Most states have similar websites, and the best way to find them is to Google "State of _________ prisons."
