Shelby County Released Inmates is privately owned and is not affiliated with Shelby County, any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers a consumer-reporting service covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Content and linked tools may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-governed purpose. The site helps visitors locate Shelby County and Kentucky inmate, release, and jail-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
The Site’s Limited Role
This is a private reference site with no authority over a government office. It does not store official jail, court, or corrections records. It cannot confirm a person’s custody status, release anyone, change a record, submit a filing, or give instructions to an agency.
The site points visitors toward release-record resources for Shelby County and the Kentucky corrections system. Some features connect users with independent research or search providers. Those providers operate their own services and are responsible for their own terms, results, and practices.
Acceptable Use Rules
You may use the site only in a lawful way that respects other people and the operation of the service. You agree that you will not:
- Break any local, state, federal, or other applicable law

- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content
- Attempt to enter accounts, servers, or systems without authorization
- Use bots, crawlers, scrapers, or automated extraction tools
- Overload, damage, disable, or disrupt access for other visitors
No Consumer Reports
Shelby County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

- Decisions to hire, retain, promote, discipline, or dismiss a worker

A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site’s content, data handling, security, accuracy, pricing, or availability. Review the destination’s terms and privacy policy before using it.
Service Provided As Is
The site and its content are offered “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties. We do not guarantee:
- That content is accurate, complete, or current

- Freedom from errors, defects, malware, or security weaknesses
- Complete or useful results from a partner search
Custody status and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by the Shelby County Jailer, a sheriff, a court, KDOC, or another government agency. Verify a fact with the office that created the underlying record.
