This is a privately owned reference, with no affiliation to a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. We are not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Nature of the Service
The site is an independent reference that stores no official Winston County or Alabama records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a public-record or court request.
Its purpose is to identify official jail, sheriff, court, and corrections resources and to connect visitors with optional third-party research tools.
Acceptable Use Rules
You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming others or the service.
- Do not violate any local, state, or federal law.
- Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or target another person.
- Do not base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content.
- Do not attempt access to systems or data without authorization.
- Do not operate bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools.
- Do not interfere with site security or another visitor's access.
FCRA Use Is Prohibited
Winston County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither it nor its advertising partners provides screening services. You may not use site information for an FCRA-covered purpose.
- Hiring, retention, promotion, or termination decisions
- Tenant selection or other housing screening
- Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
- Licensing, permits, or government-benefit eligibility
- Any other decision governed by the FCRA
Links Are Independent
The site links to jail and sheriff contacts, court and corrections portals, legal resources, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We are not responsible for another service's content, privacy practices, data, or uptime. Review that service's own terms before using it.
Service Provided As Is
All content and functions are provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranty concerning:
- Accuracy, completeness, or timeliness
- Continuous and uninterrupted availability
- Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws
- The scope or accuracy of a partner's search results
Custody and public-record information changes quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the Winston County Sheriff's Office, Winston County Jail, Alabama Department of Corrections, or another government agency.
Liability Is Limited
To the fullest extent Alabama law permits, the site and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from access to or use of the site.
Your Duty to Indemnify
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, expenses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms.
Ownership of Site Materials
Unless otherwise stated, the text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Winston County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, alter, or republish them without written permission.
