Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to Hancock County Released Inmates. Using any part of the site means that a visitor accepts these conditions and the limits described below. A visitor who does not agree should stop using the site.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with Hancock County, a sheriff, jail, court, MDOC, or another government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a consumer report or any FCRA-covered service. Content helps readers locate Mississippi and Hancock County custody and release resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Website

Hancock County Released Inmates is a private reference resource. It does not hold an official roster, court file, booking record, or release transaction. It cannot confirm a person's custody, order a release, post bond, or submit a government form for a visitor.

The site points toward public agencies and independent research tools that may help with a release question. Each outside office or provider controls its own information and service.


Acceptable Use Rules

Visitors must use the site lawfully and without harming another person, the service, or its systems.

  • Do not use the site to violate any law.
  • Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content.
  • Do not attempt access to restricted systems or accounts.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor's access or disrupt the service.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. By continuing, each visitor agrees not to use any information reached here for an FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Decisions to hire, retain, promote, or dismiss a worker
  • Tenant selection or any housing decision
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government benefit
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA

Independent Websites and Tools

Links may point to sheriff and corrections systems, release records, legal-help resources, government portals, or third-party search services. A link does not endorse the destination. This site does not control an outside page's content, availability, security, privacy practice, or handling of data. Visitors should read the destination's terms before using it.


Service Without Warranties

The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No express or implied promise is made about the following:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or current state of any content
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • The absence of errors, bugs, or security weaknesses
  • The scope or quality of a partner's search results

Custody status, public records, office hours, and web portals can change without notice. Nothing published here is an official statement by HCSO, MDOC, a court, or another government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hancock County Released Inmates and its owners, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from access to or use of the site, an inability to use it, reliance on content, or use of an outside service.


User Indemnity

A visitor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its owners harmless from claims, losses, expenses, and reasonable legal fees caused by that visitor's use of the service or breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Material

Unless a source is identified otherwise, the site's original text, graphics, logo, arrangement, and code belong to Hancock County Released Inmates or its content partners. They may not be copied, republished, distributed, or modified without written permission. Government records reached through links remain subject to the rules of their owners.


Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be updated at any time. Revised terms take effect when posted here. Continued use after publication of a change means the visitor accepts the updated conditions.


Suspension of Access

Access may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any lawful reason, and without advance notice. This includes activity that threatens the service or violates these terms.


Mississippi Governing Law

Mississippi law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Mississippi.


Severability of Terms

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or adjusted only as needed. All remaining provisions will continue in effect.
