Terms & Conditions

Nature of This Resource

This is a private reference site. It is not part of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, Shelby County Jail, Missouri courts, MODOC, MOVANS, BOP, ICE, USMS, or any other public agency. It does not store official custody records and cannot confirm an individual status, release a person, change a docket, file a public-record request for you, or correct an agency database.

The site points visitors toward county release records, Case.net, Missouri corrections and supervision tools, federal custody systems, and outside research services. A link or search result is a route to another source, not an official determination by this site.

Acceptable Use Rules

You may use the site only in a lawful manner that respects other people, the services, and the limits stated here. You agree that you will not:

• Break any local, Missouri, federal, or other applicable law
• Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm anyone
• Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, credit, or insurance decisions
• Attempt to enter accounts, servers, code, or systems without authorization
• Run bots, scrapers, automated harvesting tools, or similar extraction methods
• Interfere with site availability, security, or another visitor's use

Public access to a Shelby County, Missouri, or federal record does not remove limits imposed by law, agency rules, court orders, sealing, expungement, or privacy rights.

No Consumer Reporting Services

Shelby County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. Its advertising partners do not provide those services through this site. By using the site, you agree not to use its content, search tools, or linked records for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:

• Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision
• Housing, lease, or tenant-screening decisions
• Creditworthiness, lending terms, or insurance premiums
• Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
• Any other decision governed by the FCRA or similar law

These restrictions apply even if an agency record, search result, or court entry appears to be public. Do not submit a query if your intended use falls within a prohibited category.

Responsibility for Outbound Links

The site links to release records, the Shelby County Sheriff, Missouri Case.net, MODOC, MOVANS, federal custody systems, legal resources, and outside search services. Those sites control their own content, privacy practices, terms, data, availability, and security. A link does not mean that Shelby County Released Inmates endorses the operator or guarantees its information. Review the destination's rules before using it.

Information Provided As Is

The site and all content, links, and tools are offered “as is” and “as available.” No express or implied warranty is made concerning:

• The accuracy, completeness, or current state of any content
• Continuous or uninterrupted availability
• Freedom from errors, bugs, harmful code, or security weaknesses
• The scope, detail, or completeness of partner search results

Custody facts and public records can change quickly. A person may leave Shelby County Jail for MODOC, another jail, USMS, BOP, or ICE rather than the community. MODOC active search excludes discharged offenders, and a BOP result applies only to BOP custody. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a sheriff, court, corrections agency, or other government office. Verify details with the office that created the record.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Shelby County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or other damages arising from access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site, its links, advertising, or partner tools.

Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Shelby County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the site, misuse of information, violation of law, or breach of these Terms & Conditions.

Ownership of Site Materials

Original text, graphics, logos, layout elements, and code on Shelby County Released Inmates belong to the site or its content partners, except where another owner is identified. You may not copy, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or create derivative works from protected site material without prior written permission. Government records reached through links remain subject to their own source and rules.

Changes to These Conditions

These Terms & Conditions may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting means you accept the updated terms, so review this page periodically.

Suspension or Loss of Access

Access to all or part of the site may be restricted, suspended, or terminated at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. This includes conduct that threatens the site, violates these terms, or interferes with another visitor.

Missouri Law Controls

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning the site or these terms must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction located in Missouri.

If One Term Is Invalid

If a court finds any provision invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed or adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable while preserving its intended purpose.
