Terms of Service

By using St. Clair County Inmate Population, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the site. These terms apply to site content, navigation links, sponsored search boxes, partner tools, and any other feature made available through this private reference resource.

St. Clair County Inmate Population is privately owned and is not affiliated with St. Clair County, any sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, prosecutor, state agency, or federal agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide consumer reports, background checks, or FCRA-covered screening services.


What This Site Is

This site is a private reference resource that helps visitors understand where St. Clair County, Illinois jail, inmate, court, and detention-facility information may be found. It stores no official jail roster, court file, booking photograph, warrant database, or criminal-history file.

The site cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, file a court document, change a public record, schedule jail visits, or provide legal advice. Illinois open-record laws such as the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, apply to public bodies, not to this private website.


Acceptable Use

Visitors must use the site lawfully and responsibly. By using the site, you agree not to misuse public-record information, search tools, site content, or linked resources.

  • Do not use the site to stalk, harass, threaten, shame, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not use site information for hiring, firing, housing, lending, insurance, or other screening decisions.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site, servers, search tools, or partner systems.
  • Do not run bots, scrapers, bulk queries, or automated collection against the site.
  • Do not interfere with site operation or use the site in a way that burdens other visitors.

No Consumer Reporting Use

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, tenant reports, employment background checks, insurance reports, or eligibility-screening products. Search results, public-resource links, and partner tools may not be used for any FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Employment, promotion, discipline, or termination decisions.
  • Tenant screening or housing eligibility.
  • Credit, lending, financing, or insurance decisions.
  • Licensing, benefit, or program eligibility decisions covered by consumer-reporting law.
  • Any other decision that legally requires an FCRA-compliant consumer report.

Outside Resources

The site may link to sheriff pages, jail roster portals, Circuit Clerk tools, Illinois Department of Corrections resources, federal locators, ICE, VINELink, public-record portals, legal information, advertisers, and third-party search providers. Those sites are owned and operated by others. Links do not mean endorsement, control, or a guarantee that the outside information is accurate, current, complete, or available.


No Warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available." No warranty is made that content will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose. Jail custody, court schedules, filed charges, public-record availability, and linked resources can change without notice.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, St. Clair County Inmate Population and its owners, operators, advertisers, partners, and service providers are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of the site, reliance on site content, use of outside links, partner search results, unavailable pages, errors, delays, or security incidents.


Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless St. Clair County Inmate Population and its owners, operators, partners, and service providers from claims, costs, damages, liabilities, and legal fees arising from your use of the site, misuse of information, violation of these terms, or violation of another person's rights.


Intellectual Property

Site text, organization, design elements, logos, code, and original materials belong to St. Clair County Inmate Population or its content partners unless otherwise stated. Visitors may not copy, republish, modify, sell, scrape, or distribute site materials without written permission, except for ordinary personal use or legally permitted use.


Changes and Access

These terms may be changed at any time. Updated terms take effect when posted. Access to the site may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.


Illinois Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes must be brought in courts located in Illinois unless applicable law requires a different forum.


Severability

If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms remain in effect. The invalid part should be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable and consistent with the original purpose.


Questions

Questions about these terms can be routed through the Get in Touch page. Official custody, court, bond, release, and records questions must go to the government office that controls the record.
