This privately owned site is not affiliated with Putnam County, any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies an FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. This is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
Nature of the Service
This is a private reference site with no government authority. It stores no official jail, court, or release record. It cannot confirm live custody, release a person, post bond, or file a request or court paper for a visitor.
The pages point toward Putnam County and West Virginia record sources and may connect visitors with third-party research tools. Official answers come from Western, WVDCR, the relevant court, or another issuing office.
Acceptable Use
Visitors must use the site lawfully and without harming others or the service.
- Do not break a law while using the site.
- Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or target another person.
- Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
- Do not seek access to systems or data without permission.
- Do not operate bots, scrapers, or other automated extraction tools.
- Do not disrupt the site or interfere with another visitor.
No Consumer Reports
Putnam 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. Its advertising and search partners do not provide screening services through this site. You agree not to use site information for:
- A hiring, firing, or employment decision
- Tenant selection or another housing decision
- Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility
- Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
Outside Links
Links may lead to corrections records, sheriff pages, courts, legal resources, federal locators, or outside search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control the destination's content, privacy practices, prices, data, or availability. Review its terms before use.
No Warranties
The site and all content are provided “as is.” We do not warrant:
- That any record or statement is complete, accurate, or current
- That the service will always be available
- That software will be free from defects or security flaws
- That a partner search will return every relevant result
Custody status and public files can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by a sheriff, jail, court, or government agency.
Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site, its owners, and its partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site.
Your Indemnity
You agree to defend and hold the site, its owners, and its partners harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or your breach of these terms.

We may suspend, limit, or revoke access at any time, for any lawful reason, and without prior notice.
West Virginia Law
West Virginia law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with jurisdiction in West Virginia.
Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in force. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
