This privately owned site has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency; it only points visitors toward Mercer County and Missouri record resources.
Nature of the Site
Mercer County Released Inmates is a private reference service with no government authority. It stores no official jail, court, release, or corrections records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file documents.
The guides identify public agency sources, including records available under Missouri's Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, and may connect users with outside research tools. The agency that created a record remains responsible for its official copy.
Acceptable Use
You may use the site only in a lawful way that respects other people and the service:
- Do not violate any law.
- Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone.
- Do not use site information for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
- Do not seek unauthorized system or account access.
- Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
- Do not interfere with access by other visitors.
No Consumer Reports
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Neither it nor its advertising partners supplies background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use site content for:
- Employment or termination decisions
- Housing or tenant screening
- Creditworthiness or insurance pricing
- Licensing, permits, or government-benefit eligibility
- Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
External Resources
Links may lead to sheriff, corrections, court, legal-aid, release-record, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control a destination's content, privacy practices, terms, availability, or data, so review its policies before use.
Service Without Warranties
The site and its content are provided “as is.” We do not warrant:
- Accuracy, completeness, or current information
- Continuous or uninterrupted access
- Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws
- Complete results from any partner search
Custody and public-record information can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the Mercer County Sheriff's Office, MODOC, a court, or another government agency.
Limits of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked service.
Your Duty to Indemnify
You agree to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or your violation of these terms.
Ownership of Site Material
Site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Mercer County Released Inmates or the applicable content partner. You may not copy, distribute, alter, or republish them without written permission.
Revisions to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when posted on this page.
Suspension of Access
We may limit or end access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
Missouri Law Applies
Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Missouri. Missouri consumer-protection rules, including section 407.1150 where booking-photo removal payments are concerned, remain subject to their own statutory scope.
Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
