This is a privately owned reference site with no government, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a consumer report, private-investigation service, or FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. Its role is limited to directing visitors toward Hardin County and Ohio custody and release resources.
Nature of This Website
Hardin County Released Inmates is independent of the Hardin County Sheriff, MCCC, Hardin courts, ODRC, and all other government bodies. It does not keep official jail, release, inmate, or court records. It cannot verify custody, free or transfer a person, post a bond, or file a document.
The site organizes links and general reference material about Hardin County release records and official Ohio sources. Some pages also connect visitors to search services operated by third parties.
Acceptable Use Rules
You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming a person, the service, or its users. In particular, you must not:
- Violate a local, state, federal, or other applicable law.
- Use information to stalk, threaten, harass, or harm anyone.
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
- Try to enter accounts, servers, or systems without authorization.
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
- Interfere with access or disrupt the site for other visitors.
No Consumer Reports
Hardin County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use site or linked-tool information for:
- A decision to hire, fire, promote, or retain a worker.
- Tenant selection, housing access, or a lease decision.
- Creditworthiness, a loan, or an insurance rate or decision.
- A license, permit, or government-benefit eligibility decision.
- Any other purpose controlled by the FCRA.
Sites Reached Through Links
Links may point to sheriff and corrections pages, release or court records, federal locators, legal-aid information, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. Hardin County Released Inmates does not control a destination's content, security, privacy practices, data handling, or availability. Review that site's own terms before using it.
Service Provided As Is
The site, its content, and its features are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranty, express or implied, is made that:
- Information will always be accurate, complete, or current.
- The site will operate without interruption.
- Code will be free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses.
- A partner search will return every relevant result.
Custody entries and public records can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from MCCC, the Hardin County Sheriff, ODRC, a court, or another public office.
Limits of Liability
To the broadest extent allowed by law, Hardin County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, and content partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the site.
Your Duty to Indemnify
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hardin County Released Inmates and its owners, operators, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or your breach of these terms.

Unless a source is identified otherwise, the site's original text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Hardin County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, redistribute, modify, or republish those materials without prior written permission.
Revisions to These Terms
These conditions may be revised at any time. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here. Continued use after posting means acceptance of the revised terms.
Suspension or Termination
Access to some or all of the site may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
Ohio Law Controls
Ohio law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Ohio. Links to Ohio public records are provided for reference; access to an official record remains subject to the Ohio Public Records Act, Ohio Revised Code 149.43, and other applicable limits.
If One Term Is Invalid
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in force. The affected term will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
