Cole County Site Terms

Using Cole County Released Inmates means that you accept these terms and conditions. Please stop using the site if you do not agree with them. The terms apply to the reference content, links, and third-party search features available through these pages.

Cole County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services, and it is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Purpose of the Site

This private reference site has no tie to a sheriff, jail, court, MODOC, or other government office. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document.

Its pages direct visitors to Cole County and Missouri inmate, jail, release, supervision, and records-request resources. Some pages also connect visitors with independently operated research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming other people or systems.

  • Do not violate any law through use of the site.
  • Do not stalk, threaten, or harass another person.
  • Do not base an employment, housing, lending, or insurance decision on site content.
  • Do not attempt access you are not authorized to obtain.
  • Do not use bots or scrapers against the site.
  • Do not disrupt service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Cole County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not supply background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners. You may not use site content or linked tool results for:

  • 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

Links to Other Services

Links may point to release records, sheriff and corrections sites, government portals, legal resources, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside service's content, data practices, prices, or uptime, so review its own terms before use.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranty about:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currentness
  • Continuous or uninterrupted availability
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws
  • The scope or quality of a partner's search results

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Cole County Sheriff's Office, MODOC, a court, or another agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Cole County Released Inmates and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, expenses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or your violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Cole County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or republish those materials without written permission unless applicable law permits it.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page, and continued use means acceptance of the new terms.


Access May Be Revoked

We may restrict or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Missouri Law Controls

These terms are governed by Missouri law without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Missouri.


If One Term Fails

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