This privately owned site has no affiliation with Defiance County, a sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or another government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a consumer report or service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-covered decision. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. It only helps readers find public jail and inmate-record resources in Defiance County and Ohio.
The Site’s Limited Role
This is a private reference resource, not an official records repository. It cannot confirm a current custody status, release a person, file a request or court document, or change an agency record.
Its pages point to CCNO, Defiance courts and offices, ODRC, federal resources, and outside research tools that may help a visitor locate a relevant source.
Acceptable Use
Use of the site must remain lawful and must not interfere with other visitors or the systems that provide it. A visitor agrees not to:
- Break a law through use of the site
- Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content
- Try to gain unauthorized access to any account, service, or system
- Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site
- Disrupt or degrade access for other users
No Consumer Reports or Screening
Defiance County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It provides no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither it nor its advertising partners supplies screening services. A visitor agrees not to use information from the site for:
- Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment action
- Tenant or housing screening
- Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
- Any other decision governed by the FCRA
External Services and Links
The site links to release-record sources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Those destinations are independent. Their content, data practices, availability, and terms are outside this site’s control, and a link does not amount to endorsement.
Service Provided As Is
The site and its content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law permits, there is no warranty that information is accurate, complete, current, or fit for a particular purpose; that service will be continuous; that software is free of errors or security defects; or that a partner search will return every available record.
Custody data and public records can change at any time. Nothing published here is an official statement by CCNO, the Defiance County Sheriff, a court, ODRC, or another government agency.
Limits of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site, its operators, and its content partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, inability to access, or reliance on the site or an outside service.
Your Duty to Indemnify
A visitor agrees to defend and hold harmless the site, its operators, and its partners from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees resulting from that visitor’s use, misuse, or violation of these terms.
Ownership of Site Material
Unless otherwise stated, the site’s text, graphics, logos, design, and code belong to Defiance County Released Inmates or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, republished, or modified without written permission, except where law independently allows the use.
Revisions to These Terms
These conditions may be updated at any time. A revised version becomes effective when posted on this page. Continued use after posting means the visitor accepts the new version.
Access May Be Ended
Access to all or part of the site may be limited, suspended, or revoked at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
Ohio Law Applies
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Ohio.
If One Term Is Invalid
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
