Terms & Conditions

Nature of the Service

This is a private reference site with no government role. It stores no official records and cannot verify custody, release a person, submit a public-records request, or file court documents for a visitor.

Its pages identify Jackson County jail, sheriff, court, VINE, Illinois corrections, and records-request resources. Some pages also connect visitors with independently operated research tools.

Acceptable Use Rules

• Do not use the site to violate any law.
• Do not stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person with information found here.
• Do not use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
• Do not try to enter accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
• Do not operate bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools.
• Do not interfere with the site's operation or another visitor's access.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited

Jackson County Recent Arrests 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 through this site. By using the site, you agree not to apply its content to any FCRA-covered decision, including:

• Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision.
• Tenant selection or housing screening.
• Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing.
• Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government benefit.
• Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Independent Websites and Tools

Links may lead to sheriff, jail, police, court, corrections, government, legal-aid, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those sites, their content, privacy practices, results, prices, or availability. Review each destination's own terms before using it.

No Warranties Are Made

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

• The accuracy, completeness, or current status of information.
• Continuous or uninterrupted access.
• Freedom from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
• The scope or quality of results returned by a search partner.

Custody status, booked charges, court records, and office procedures can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office or any government agency.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jackson County Recent Arrests and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site.

Your Indemnity Obligation

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

Ownership of Site Materials

Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Jackson County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, or modified without written permission, except where applicable law permits.

Revisions to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Revised conditions become effective when they are posted on this page.

Suspension of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction within Illinois.

Severability of Provisions

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
