Terms & Conditions

By browsing or using Washtenaw County Released Inmates, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site or its search tools.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It helps visitors locate Washtenaw County and Michigan custody and release resources. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.


Purpose of the Site

Washtenaw County Released Inmates is a private reference service with no government ties. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document for a visitor.

The site points toward county, state, and federal custody resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools. The office that created a record remains the authoritative source.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do our advertising partners. By using the site, you agree not to apply its information to an FCRA-covered decision.

Outside Links and Services

Links may lead to release records, sheriff or corrections sites, government portals, legal-aid resources, and outside search providers. We do not endorse or control their content, data practices, prices, or uptime. Review each provider's terms before using it.


No Warranties

The site and its content are offered “as is” and “as available.” We make no promise about:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or current state of information.
  • Continuous or uninterrupted availability.
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
  • The scope or completeness of partner search results.

Custody status and public records can change at any time. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a sheriff, court, corrections department, or other public agency.

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted here.


Ending or Limiting Access

Michigan Law Applies
