Mercer Terms and Conditions

These terms govern use of Mercer County Released Inmates. Accessing or using the site means that you accept them. If you do not agree, do not continue to use the site or its linked tools. These terms apply to the private reference content and do not replace the separate rules of a government portal, search provider, or other destination.

Mercer County Released Inmates is privately owned and is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. It only helps visitors locate inmate, jail, release, court, and corrections resources in Mercer County, Kentucky.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference site with no authority over any government office. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

Its pages point to sources maintained by the Mercer County Jailer, Boyle and Woodford detention centers, Mercer courts, Kentucky DOC, VINE, and other outside providers.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Do not use the site in violation of any law.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm another person.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another eligibility decision.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site, its servers, accounts, or connected systems.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools without written permission.
  • Do not interfere with site availability or another visitor's use.

No Consumer Reports

Mercer County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It offers no background check, credit report, or consumer report. Its advertising and search partners do not provide screening services through this site. By using the site, you agree not to apply information to:

  • hiring, retention, promotion, discipline, or termination;
  • tenant selection, lease approval, or another housing decision;
  • creditworthiness, lending, insurance coverage, or insurance pricing;
  • licenses, permits, benefits, or government-program eligibility; or
  • any other decision regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links and Services

Links may lead to jail rosters, release sources, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, legal-aid resources, federal locators, and commercial search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control or accept responsibility for an outside service's content, data handling, prices, results, or uptime. Review its own terms before use.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties. We do not guarantee:

  • accuracy, completeness, or currency;
  • continuous or uninterrupted availability;
  • freedom from errors, harmful code, bugs, or security weaknesses; or
  • the scope, quality, or completeness of partner search results.

Custody and public-record information changes often. Nothing here is an official statement from the Mercer County Jailer, a sheriff, a jail, a court, Kentucky DOC, or another government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Mercer County Released Inmates, its owners, contributors, service providers, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive losses arising from access to, inability to access, reliance on, or use of the site or an outside link.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, contributors, providers, and partners from claims, losses, obligations, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use, misuse, violation of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights.


Ownership of Site Materials

Original text, graphics, logos, organization, and code belong to Mercer County Released Inmates or its content and technology partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, republish, modify, sell, or create derivative works from protected material without prior written permission, except where law expressly allows.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when posted. Continued use after that posting signifies acceptance of the new terms.


Suspension or Termination

Access may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice. Rights and obligations that logically survive termination remain effective.


Kentucky Governing Law

These terms are governed by Kentucky law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Kentucky. References to public records are informed by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS Chapter 61, but this private site is not a public agency under that Act.


Severability of Provisions

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.
