Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Gallatin County Released Inmates. By browsing, searching, or otherwise using the website, you agree to follow these terms. If you do not accept every provision, stop using the website. The terms apply to the public information pages, links, and search tools made available through this private resource.

Gallatin County Released Inmates is privately owned. It is not connected with Gallatin County, Saline County, any sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or other government body. Neither this website nor its advertising partners offers services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The website helps readers locate Illinois release and custody-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Purpose of This Resource

This is a private reference website with no authority over a government office. It does not store official records. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, change a record, submit a court filing, or act for an agency.

The pages point readers toward Gallatin County arrest and court resources, Saline County detention records, Illinois corrections information, and federal custody tools. Some pages also connect visitors with outside research services.

Use this website only for lawful, respectful purposes. The following conduct is prohibited:

  • Using the website in violation of any law or regulation.
  • Using information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
  • Relying on website content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Trying to enter accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
  • Operating bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools.
  • Interfering with website operation or another visitor's access.

FCRA Use Is Prohibited

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not prepare background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners do not provide screening services through this website. By using the website, you agree not to use its content or linked search results for:

Outside Websites and Services

Links may lead to release-record resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid materials, or third-party search services. We do not control those destinations or endorse every statement they publish. Their content, availability, pricing, and data practices are their responsibility. Review each provider's own terms and privacy policy before using it.


Information Comes As Is

The website and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

  • Information is always accurate, complete, or current.
  • Access will be continuous or uninterrupted.
  • The website is free from errors, defects, or security weaknesses.
  • An outside partner's search results are complete or conclusive.

Custody status, court entries, and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Gallatin County Sheriff, Saline County Detention Center, Illinois Department of Corrections, or another government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Gallatin County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, and content partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the website or linked services.

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page. Continued use after publication means you accept the updated terms.


Suspension of Access

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


Illinois Law Applies

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


If One Provision Fails

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