Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Wisconsin Inmate Population. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or any sponsored search tool displayed through it.

Wisconsin Inmate Population is privately owned and has no affiliation with DOC, any Wisconsin sheriff, jail, court, BOP, ICE, VINE, or other government body. The site is not a consumer reporting agency, does not provide consumer reports, and may not be used for FCRA-covered decisions such as employment, housing, credit, insurance, or tenant screening.


What This Website Is

This site is an informational reference for Wisconsin inmate population, jail roster, DOC locator, court-record, facility-directory, BOP, ICE, and VINE routing. It does not host official records, issue court papers, confirm custody, process bond, or control a government database.

The site may point to county subdomains, official Wisconsin sources, federal locators, and third-party research tools. Those resources may have their own terms, fees, limits, and update schedules.


Acceptable Use

You agree to use the site only for lawful informational purposes.

  • Do not use the site to break any law or court order.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Do not make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, or screening decisions from site content.
  • Do not attempt to bypass security or gain unauthorized access.
  • Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated collection that burdens the site.
  • Do not disrupt service for other users.

No Consumer Reports

Neither Wisconsin Inmate Population nor its advertising or search partners offer background checks, credit reports, tenant reports, employment reports, or consumer reports through this site. You agree not to use information found here, or information found through a linked tool, for any purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

  • Employment, promotion, discipline, or termination decisions.
  • Tenant screening or housing eligibility decisions.
  • Credit, lending, insurance, or premium decisions.
  • Licensing, benefits, permits, or government-program eligibility decisions.
  • Any other decision that requires a consumer report under the FCRA.

Outside Links

The site links to Wisconsin jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, WCCA, DOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, county subdomains, legal information, and outside search services. A link does not mean endorsement. We do not control outside content, uptime, privacy practices, fees, search results, or records decisions.


No Warranties

The site is provided as is and as available. No warranty is made that the information, links, partner results, or tools will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or error free.

  • Custody status may change before a page or roster refreshes.
  • DOC records, county jail rosters, VINE notices, WCCA entries, BOP dates, and ICE locator data may update on different schedules.
  • Partner search results may be incomplete or priced by the partner provider.
  • Technical errors, outages, or link changes may occur.

Nothing on this site is an official statement from a Wisconsin sheriff, DOC, a court, BOP, ICE, VINE, or any other government office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Wisconsin Inmate Population and its operators are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, reliance on site content, inability to access the site, use of outside links, or use of third-party tools.


Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless Wisconsin Inmate Population, its operators, and its content or service partners from claims, losses, damages, costs, and legal fees arising from your use of the site, misuse of information, or violation of these terms.


Intellectual Property

Site text, page structure, graphics, logos, and code are owned by Wisconsin Inmate Population or its licensors and content partners, except for public materials or third-party materials owned by their respective sources. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or republish site content without written permission, except as allowed by law.


Changes to Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. Revised terms become effective when posted on this page, and continued use of the site after posting means the updated terms are accepted.


Access Limits

Access to all or part of the site may be restricted, suspended, or ended at any time, with or without notice, including for misuse, security concerns, heavy automated traffic, or operational reasons.


Wisconsin Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that must be filed in court shall be filed in a court located in Wisconsin, unless applicable law requires another forum.


Severability

If a court finds part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain in effect. The invalid part will be limited or revised only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
