Terms & Conditions

Use of Philadelphia County Released Inmates means you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not accept them, do not use the site or its linked tools.

Philadelphia County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a service covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including services for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. The site provides navigation to Philadelphia County and Pennsylvania custody and public-record resources. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.


Nature of the Site

This is a private reference service, not an official record repository. It does not store government jail, inmate, release, or court files. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bail, or submit an agency or court filing.

The site points visitors toward Philadelphia Department of Prisons resources, PA DOC systems, court records, federal locators, and independent research tools. Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq., governs qualifying agency-record requests made to the responsible Pennsylvania or City agency. It does not convert this private site into a government records office.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

  • Break any local, state, or federal law through the service.
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person.
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited eligibility decision.
  • Attempt access to accounts, code, servers, or data without authorization.
  • Deploy bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site.
  • Interfere with access, security, performance, or use by other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

Philadelphia County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening product, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use information found here or through a linked tool for:

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

Links to Other Services

Links may lead to release records, PDP or PA DOC pages, courts, federal locators, legal resources, and commercial search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the destination’s content, availability, security, privacy practices, prices, or results. Review that provider’s own terms before using it.


No Warranties

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

  • Information is complete, correct, or current.
  • The site will operate without interruption.
  • Code or systems will be free of errors, bugs, or security flaws.
  • A partner search will be complete or return a particular result.

Custody status and government records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from PDP, PA DOC, a sheriff, court, parole office, or other government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Philadelphia County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Philadelphia County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, contributors, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees caused by your site use, misuse, violation of law, or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Content

Unless a source states otherwise, the site’s original text, graphics, logo, design elements, and code belong to Philadelphia County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, republish, or exploit that material without prior written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. Changes take effect when the updated text is posted. Continued use after publication means you accept the revised terms.


Access May Be Revoked

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


Pennsylvania Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Pennsylvania.


Severability

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