Terms & Conditions

Purpose of the Site

This private reference site stores no official records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, submit a public-record request, or file a court document for a visitor.

Its pages point to Calhoun County inmate and jail-record offices, Illinois corrections resources, federal locators, and optional third-party research tools. The agency that created a record remains the source for confirmation.

Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site responsibly and only for lawful purposes. In particular, you may not:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
• Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content.
• Attempt unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
• Operate bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
• Interfere with availability or use by others.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited

Calhoun County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It provides no background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners. You agree not to use site content or linked-tool results for:

• Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision.
• Tenant selection, housing eligibility, or lease decisions.
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance premiums.
• Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
• Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Websites and Tools

Links may lead to release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Those destinations control their own content, privacy practices, terms, and availability. A link does not amount to endorsement, and this site is not responsible for a third party's conduct or data handling. Review the destination's policies before using it.

No Warranties

The site and all content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that:

• Information is accurate, complete, or current.
• Access will be continuous or uninterrupted.
• The site is free of errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
• A partner search will return every relevant result.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Calhoun County Sheriff, IDOC, a court, or any other government agency.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Calhoun County Released Inmates and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked service.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Calhoun County Released Inmates and its operators from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees resulting from your use of the site or your breach of these terms.

Ownership of Content

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Calhoun County Released Inmates or the applicable content partner. You may not copy, distribute, republish, or modify protected material without prior written permission, except where law expressly allows.

Updates to These Terms

These conditions may be changed at any time. Revised terms take effect when posted here. Continued use after posting indicates acceptance of the updated version.

Access May Be Revoked

Access may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

Illinois Law Controls

Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Illinois.

Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay effective. The affected language will be adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.
