Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to California Released Inmates. By using the site, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept every condition, do not continue using the site.

This privately owned site has no government affiliation, is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency, and offers no FCRA-covered service.


Nature of the Site

California Released Inmates is an independent reference resource with no connection to CDCR, BPH, DAPO, a sheriff, jail, court, BOP, ICE, or another government body. It stores no official custody or release records. The site cannot confirm identity or custody, release a person, post bond, or file a government document.

Its statewide pages point to official release-record and offender-search resources, route visitors toward the appropriate county site, and may connect users with outside research tools. “Not found” in any linked system does not by itself establish a California release.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is conditioned on lawful and respectful use.

  • Do not use the site in violation of any law.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not use site information for a prohibited FCRA-covered decision.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
  • Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools.
  • Do not interfere with service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

California Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide a background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service. You agree not to use site content or linked-tool results for an FCRA-covered purpose.

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

Outside Links

The site links to sheriff and jail pages, CDCR and other government portals, county subdomain sites, legal resources, and third-party search providers. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, terms, data quality, or uptime. Review the destination’s rules before using it.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no express or implied warranty is made about:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currentness
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
  • The scope or quality of a partner’s search result

Custody data and public records can change at different times. Nothing on this site is an official statement by a California sheriff, court, corrections agency, or federal custodian.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, California Released Inmates and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive loss arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or an outside link.


Indemnification

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


Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, the site’s original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to California Released Inmates or its content partners. They may not be copied, republished, distributed, or modified without prior written permission, except where law allows.


Changes to Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted. Continued use after posting means the new terms apply to that use.


Access Restrictions

Access may be suspended, limited, or ended at any time, with or without notice, including when use appears unlawful, abusive, automated, disruptive, or inconsistent with these terms.


California Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in California.


Severability

If a court finds part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
