Terms & Conditions

By accessing Clinton County Released Inmates, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept every condition, do not use the site or its search tools.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with Clinton County, a sheriff, jail, corrections department, court, or other government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site helps locate Clinton County and Illinois inmate and jail record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

Clinton County Released Inmates is a private reference service with no government authority. It stores no official jail, release, inmate, or court records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, submit legal documents, or act for the Clinton County Sheriff, IDOC, a court, BOP, or ICE.

Pages identify public agencies, record paths, and third-party research tools that may help a visitor locate relevant information.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site responsibly and lawfully. You must not:

  • Violate any federal, Illinois, or local law.
  • Stalk, harass, threaten, deceive, or harm another person.
  • Use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated eligibility decision.
  • Attempt unauthorized access to the site, accounts, servers, or data.
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools without written permission.
  • Disrupt service, introduce harmful code, or interfere with another visitor.

No Consumer Reports

Clinton County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not supply background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither its advertising nor search partners provides screening services through this site. You agree not to use content or linked results for:

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

Third-Party Destinations

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections sites, release records, government portals, legal resources, and outside search providers. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside service’s content, uptime, pricing, results, or data practices. Read its terms and privacy notice before use.


Service Without Warranties

The site and its 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 service is free of defects, harmful code, or security weaknesses.
  • A partner search will return every relevant record.

Custody and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement from the Clinton County Sheriff or any government office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, contributors, and service partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive loss arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use, misuse, violation of law, or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless stated otherwise, text, graphics, logos, design elements, and code belong to Clinton County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, or modify them without prior written permission.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when posted, and continued use means the revised terms apply.


Access May End

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


Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. 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 terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
