Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Maryland Inmate Population. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or its search, directory, contact, or reference features.

Maryland Inmate Population is privately owned and is not affiliated with DPSCS, any Maryland sheriff, jail, court, police department, corrections department, or government agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide consumer reports, background checks, credit reports, tenant screening, employment screening, insurance screening, or any other FCRA-covered service.


What This Site Is

This site is an independent reference and routing resource. It does not hold official Maryland jail rosters, DPSCS case records, booking photos, court files, police records, or Public Information Act records. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, file a request for you, update a court docket, or change a government record.

The site points visitors toward Maryland inmate and jail records resources, county-level pages, facility directories, state and federal locators, and third-party research tools. Official records remain with the agency or court that created or maintains them, including custodians under the Maryland Public Information Act.


Use Rules

  • Do not use the site for unlawful activity.
  • Do not use information from the site to stalk, threaten, harass, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, or similar eligibility decisions.
  • Do not attempt to access systems, accounts, files, or code without permission.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, crawlers, or automated harvesting tools without authorization.
  • Do not interfere with site performance or other visitors' access.

No Consumer Reports

Maryland Inmate Population is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site does not create consumer reports, background-check reports, credit reports, or screening products. You agree that information found here, or through linked partner tools, will not be used for FCRA-regulated purposes.

  • Employment, promotion, discipline, or termination decisions.
  • Tenant screening, rental decisions, or housing eligibility.

Outside Links

Links may lead to DPSCS, county jails, sheriff and corrections departments, Maryland Judiciary resources, county subdomain sites, BOP, ICE, VINE, legal resources, advertisers, and search providers. Those websites are separate services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, terms, fees, uptime, or records.


No Warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no promise that any page, link, record description, search result, directory entry, phone number, fee, or agency detail will be complete, current, uninterrupted, or error-free.

  • Accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information.
  • Continuous access or uninterrupted site operation.
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, malware, or security flaws.
  • Completeness or usefulness of partner search results.

Maryland custody status, case data, VINE notifications, DPSCS locator results, and county roster information can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Maryland Inmate Population and its owners, operators, contractors, and content partners are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of the site, inability to use the site, reliance on site content, third-party links, partner tools, or official records reached from this site.


Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold Maryland Inmate Population harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and attorney fees that arise from your use of the site, your misuse of information, or your violation of these Terms of Use.


Intellectual Property

The text, layout, graphics, logos, code, and other site materials belong to Maryland Inmate Population or its content partners, except for government materials and third-party marks owned by their respective holders. Do not copy, sell, distribute, modify, or reuse protected material without written permission.


Term Changes

These terms may be updated at any time. Changes take effect when posted on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.


Access Limits

Access to the site may be restricted, suspended, blocked, or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.


Maryland Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in Maryland unless applicable law requires a different forum.


Severability

If a court finds part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The invalid part will be narrowed or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
