Terms & Conditions

Using Chesapeake County Released Inmates means that you agree to these Terms & Conditions. Read them before browsing, following a link, or submitting a search to a partner. If you do not accept every term below, do not use this site.

This privately owned site has no affiliation with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It helps visitors locate Chesapeake, Virginia inmate and jail-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency, and neither it nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services.


Nature of This Resource

Chesapeake County Released Inmates is an independent reference site with no government authority. It does not store official jail, inmate, court, or release records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, file a records request for a visitor, or submit a court document.

The site points visitors toward public Chesapeake Sheriff, Virginia corrections, court, supervision, and facility sources. Some pages also connect to independently operated research tools. Those links do not turn this site into the agency or provider behind the destination.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site responsibly and only for lawful purposes. In particular, you must not:

  • Violate any local, state, federal, or other applicable law.
  • Use information to stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
  • Use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited eligibility decision.
  • Attempt to enter accounts, systems, or data without authorization.
  • Run automated bots, scrapers, or bulk-collection tools against the site.
  • Damage, overload, interfere with, or deny access to the service for others.

No Consumer Reports

Chesapeake County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not furnish background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and its advertising or search partners do not provide FCRA screening through this site. You agree not to use site or partner information for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision.
  • Tenant selection, lease approval, or housing screening.
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance-premium decisions.
  • Licensing, permit, or government-program eligibility where consumer-report rules apply.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links and Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections sites, release-record portals, legal-aid resources, government systems, or outside search services. A link is provided for convenience and does not endorse the destination. We do not control its content, privacy practices, data quality, pricing, or availability. Review the destination’s own terms before using it.


Service Without Warranties

The site and its content are offered “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, no warranty is made that:

  • Any information is complete, accurate, or current.
  • The site will be available without delay or interruption.
  • The service will be free of bugs, errors, or security weaknesses.
  • A partner search will return every relevant result.

Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from the Chesapeake Sheriff’s Office, VADOC, a court, or any government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chesapeake County Released Inmates and its operators will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the site or a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or your violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless another owner is identified, the site’s original text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Chesapeake County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, publish, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated terms are posted here. Continued use after posting means you accept the revised version.


Suspension or Termination

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to any part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Virginia Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Virginia.


If One Term Fails

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
