Terms & Conditions

By browsing or using Richland County Recent Arrests, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website.

This privately owned website is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. It and its advertising partners do not provide credit, employment, insurance, housing, tenant-screening, or other FCRA-covered services. The site helps visitors locate Richland County and Illinois custody-record resources, but it is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Scope of the Website

Richland County Recent Arrests is an independent reference site with no government ties. It does not store official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, or file a request or court document for a visitor.

Its pages point to resources such as the RCSO inmate search, the county directory, the Circuit Clerk, IDOC, and optional third-party research tools.


Acceptable Use

  • Use the website only for lawful purposes.
  • Do not use information to stalk, intimidate, harass, or threaten anyone.
  • Do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated screening decision.
  • Do not try to enter restricted systems or accounts without authorization.
  • Do not operate bots, crawlers, or scraping tools against the site.
  • Do not interfere with the website or another visitor's access.

No Consumer Reports or FCRA Use

Neither this site nor its advertising partners is a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not furnish background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. You agree not to use site information for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision
  • Housing or tenant screening
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or eligibility for a government benefit
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Services and Websites We Link To

Links may open jail rosters, booking data, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid material, or commercial search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those sites, their handling of data, or their availability, and you should review their own terms.


Provided As Is

The website and its content are supplied "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim express and implied warranties, including any warranty that they will provide:

  • Accurate, complete, or current information
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • Operation free from mistakes, software defects, or security weaknesses
  • Complete results from a partner's search service

Custody and court records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement from RCSO, the Richland County Detention Center, IDOC, or another public office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the website.


Your Responsibility for Claims

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


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless otherwise identified, the site's writing, graphics, logos, and code belong to Richland County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission.


Future Revisions

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted on this page.


Restriction or Termination of Access

We may limit, suspend, or block access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Illinois Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Any dispute must be filed in a court located within Illinois.


If One Provision Is Invalid

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as necessary.
