Important disclosure. Madison County Released Inmates is privately owned. It has no affiliation with Madison County, any sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another use governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This resource helps visitors locate Madison County and Illinois custody and release-record sources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
Purpose and Private Status
This is a private reference website, not an office of Madison County or the State of Illinois. It does not store official sheriff, jail, court, IDOC, probation, or parole records. Staff cannot confirm custody, direct a facility to release someone, change a case, submit a public-record request for a visitor, or file a court document.
The pages organize links and explanations for Madison County release records, detention facilities, Illinois corrections resources, and third-party research tools. An official agency remains responsible for its own record and decision.
Acceptable Use Rules
- Do not use the site in a way that violates any law.
- Do not use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person.
- Do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other eligibility decisions.
- Do not try to enter an account, server, or restricted area without authorization.
- Do not operate bots, crawlers, scrapers, or other automated collection tools.
- Do not impair performance, introduce harmful code, or interfere with another visitor's access.
No Consumer Reports or Screening
Madison County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. 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 pages or linked tools, you agree not to use any information for:
- A decision to hire, fire, promote, or retain a worker

- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility

Outside Websites and Services
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, courts, legal-aid resources, notification systems, and outside search services. A link does not amount to an endorsement. We do not control an outside site's content, accuracy, data handling, terms, security, or availability. Review that provider's terms and privacy notice before supplying information.
Information Provided As Is
The site, its content, and access to linked resources are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent allowed by law, no warranty is made concerning:
- The accuracy, completeness, or currentness of information
- Continuous or uninterrupted availability
- Freedom from errors, bugs, harmful components, or security weaknesses
- The scope, completeness, or quality of a partner's search results
Custody status, projected release dates, court entries, and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by the Madison County Sheriff's Office, Madison County Jail, Illinois Department of Corrections, a court, or another government agency.
Limits of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Madison County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from access to, inability to access, reliance on, or use of the site or an outside link.

Illinois Law Governs
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to rules that would select another jurisdiction's law. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction within Illinois.
If One Term Is Invalid
If a court finds any provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only to the minimum extent required to make it enforceable where possible.
Questions About These Terms
Questions concerning these Terms & Conditions may be sent through the Get in Touch page. That channel is not a government records office and cannot confirm a release or custody status.
