Terms & Conditions

Nature of the Website

This is a private reference resource. It does not hold official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

Links and explanations direct readers toward Macon County jail records, IDOC resources, other public portals, and independent research tools. The originating agency remains responsible for its record.

Acceptable Use Rules

• Use the site only in a lawful manner.
• Do not use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
• Do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
• Do not attempt to enter an account, server, or system without authorization.
• Do not use bots, automated scrapers, or similar collection methods.
• Do not interfere with site access or performance for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Macon County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not offer a background check, credit report, or consumer report. Its advertising and search partners do not offer screening services through this site. By using the site, you agree not to apply its information to:

• hiring, discipline, or termination;
• tenant selection or housing eligibility;
• creditworthiness, lending, or insurance premiums;
• licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
• any other decision regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Websites

Links may lead to Sheriff, corrections, court, release-record, legal-aid, government, or independent search services. A link does not endorse the destination. We are not responsible for an outside site's content, privacy practices, terms, data handling, or availability. Review its rules before use.

Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no warranty that:

• information is accurate, complete, or current;
• access will always be uninterrupted;
• the site will be free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses; or
• a partner search will be complete or suitable for a visitor's purpose.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Macon County Sheriff's Office, IDOC, or another agency.

Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Macon County Released Inmates and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the site or a linked service.

Your Duty to Indemnify

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

Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Macon County Released Inmates or the relevant content partner. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, or modified without written permission, except where law independently permits use.

Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting indicates acceptance of the new terms.

Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice, including when use threatens the site, other visitors, or compliance with these terms.

Illinois Governing Law

Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction located in Illinois.

If One Term Fails

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.
