DeKalb County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no connection to a government agency, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a Fair Credit Reporting Act service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. It only helps visitors locate DeKalb County and Tennessee custody and release-record resources.
Nature of the Service
This is a private reference site. It does not represent DeKalb County, the Sheriff's Department, the DeKalb County Jail, TDOC, or another public office. It keeps no official jail, court, or correction record and cannot confirm custody, free a person, file a request, or submit a legal document for a visitor.
The site organizes links and explanatory material about DeKalb County jail releases, Tennessee offender systems, supervision, court files, and public-record requests. Some pages also connect visitors with outside research tools. Those tools are separate services with their own terms.
Acceptable Use Rules
You agree to use the site responsibly and lawfully. In particular, you must not:
- Use the site while committing or assisting an unlawful act.
- Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
- Base an employment, housing, lending, or insurance decision on site content.
- Attempt access to an account, server, or system without authorization.
- Operate bots, automated scrapers, or similar extraction tools against the site.
- Interfere with site operation or another visitor's access.
No Consumer Reports
DeKalb County Released Inmates 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. Advertising and search partners do not turn this site into an FCRA service. You agree not to use site or linked-tool information for:
- Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision.
- Tenant selection, housing eligibility, or rental screening.
- Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance rates and coverage.
- Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government benefit or program.
- Any other decision regulated by the FCRA.
Links to Other Services
Links can lead to sheriff and correction sites, release records, government portals, legal-aid material, or private search providers. A link does not mean that DeKalb County Released Inmates endorses the destination. We do not control its content, availability, security, data handling, or results. Review the destination's terms and privacy policy before using it.
No Warranties
The site and all content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranty that:
- Any record, contact, explanation, or link is accurate, complete, or current.
- The site will operate without interruption.
- The site will be free of errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
- An outside search provider will return complete or useful results.
Custody, release, court, and supervision records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department, TDOC, a court, or another government agency.
