Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern access to Stearns County Released Inmates. By visiting or using the site, a user agrees to each term below. Anyone who does not accept these conditions should stop using the site and its search features. Separate terms apply after a visitor follows a government link or uses a service supplied by an outside search provider.

Stearns County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no affiliation with Stearns County, a sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other government body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides FCRA-covered credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Website

This is a private reference resource that points visitors to Stearns County jail and release records, Minnesota corrections tools, supervision contacts, court resources, and federal locators. It stores no official jail roster, release file, court record, or corrections record.

The site cannot confirm a person’s custody status, release anyone, post bond, file a request for a visitor, or issue certified documents. Third-party research tools may be available, but their services remain separate from this site and from every government office.


Acceptable Use Rules

Access is granted only for lawful, respectful use that does not harm a person, the site, or its service providers. A user agrees not to:

  • Break any applicable law while using the site
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person
  • Use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another FCRA-covered decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into an account, server, or system
  • Operate bots, crawlers, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
  • Disrupt availability or interfere with another visitor’s use

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, background checks, or screening services. Its ad and search partners are not presented as offering those services through this site. Users must not apply content or linked-tool results to:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection, leases, or housing eligibility
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance premiums
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other decision regulated by the FCRA

Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to Stearns County release records, the Sheriff, Minnesota DOC, court portals, legal-aid resources, federal locators, and outside search providers. A link is offered for navigation and does not endorse the destination. This site does not control outside content, prices, privacy practices, data handling, security, or uptime. Visitors should review the destination’s terms before submitting information or paying for a service.


No Warranties

The website and all content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no express or implied warranty is made regarding:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currentness
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses
  • Completeness of results supplied by a partner

Custody status, release dates, office contacts, and public classifications can change. Nothing on the site is an official statement by Stearns County, the Sheriff, Minnesota DOC, a court, or a federal agency. Verify material with the office that maintains it.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent Minnesota law permits, the site, its owners, and its content or service partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive loss arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside tool. This limitation applies even if the possibility of loss was known.


User Indemnification

A user agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, and its partners from claims, liabilities, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by that user’s conduct, misuse of information, infringement of another person’s rights, or violation of these Terms & Conditions.


Intellectual Property

Unless a source is credited otherwise, the site’s original text, organization, graphics, logos, and code belong to Stearns County Released Inmates or its content partners. A visitor may not copy, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or create a derivative work from protected material without written permission. Government records remain subject to the law and terms of their issuing agencies.


Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted to this page. Continued access after posting means the user accepts the new terms.


Access May End

Access may be suspended, limited, or revoked at any time, with or without notice, when necessary to protect the service, enforce these terms, respond to abuse, or for any other lawful reason.


Minnesota Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by Minnesota law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Minnesota.


Severability

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


Terms Questions

Questions about these conditions may be sent through the Contact Us page. Custody, release, supervision, and official-record questions must still go to the responsible government office.
