Terms & Conditions

Using this site means that you accept these terms. If you do not agree, stop using the site.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. Its purpose is to organize Cook County and Illinois custody and release-record resources.


Nature of the Service

This private reference has no government role. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document.

It points readers toward Cook County inmate and jail record offices, state and federal locators, and independent research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Do not violate a law.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone.
  • Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access.
  • Do not run bots or scrapers.
  • Do not interfere with service for others.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and provides no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service. Advertising partners do not turn this content into an authorized screening product. You agree not to use it for:

  • hiring or firing;
  • tenant or housing screening;
  • creditworthiness or insurance pricing;
  • licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility;
  • any other FCRA-covered decision.

Independent Links

Links lead to government records, Sheriff and corrections pages, legal-aid information, and independent search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control outside content, data practices, or uptime; review the destination's terms.


Service Provided As Is

Everything is provided “as is” without a warranty of:

  • accuracy, completeness, or currency;
  • continuous availability;
  • freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws;
  • completeness of an outside provider's results.

Custody status and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement by a sheriff or government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for damages arising from access to or use of the service.


Indemnification

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


Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Cook County Released Inmates or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may change at any time. A revision takes effect when posted.


Ending Access

Access may be restricted or revoked at any time, for any reason, without notice.


Illinois Governing Law

Illinois law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Illinois.


Severability

If one term is held invalid, the remaining terms continue. The invalid provision will be narrowed only as much as needed.
