Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern use of Dickinson County Inmate Population. By browsing the site, using its links, or submitting a search through a partner tool, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use this site.

Dickinson County Inmate Population is privately owned. It is not affiliated with Dickinson County, the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office, the Dickinson County Correctional Center, the Michigan Department of Corrections, any court, or any federal or immigration custody agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide consumer reports, background checks for FCRA purposes, private-investigation services, credit screening, employment screening, insurance screening, or tenant screening.


Nature of the Site

This site is a private reference resource. It does not store official jail records, court records, booking photographs, warrants, release records, or custody files. It cannot confirm that a person is in custody, release or transfer anyone, accept bond, schedule jail visits, or file public-record requests for a visitor.

The pages point visitors toward inmate and jail-record resources for Dickinson County, Michigan, including the sheriff-operated Dickinson County Correctional Center, the separate MDOC OTIS locator for state prisoners, and federal or ICE systems when those systems are the proper place to search.


Permitted Use

  • Do not use the site in a way that violates any federal, Michigan, or local law.
  • Do not use information found here or through linked resources to stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or similar eligibility decisions.
  • Do not try to enter accounts, systems, files, or server areas without authorization.
  • Do not use automated scraping, bots, or bulk extraction tools against the site.
  • Do not interfere with site availability or another visitor's ability to use it.

No Consumer Reporting Use

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not create consumer reports, credit reports, background checks, or eligibility-screening products. By using the site, you agree that information here, on linked government pages, or through advertising partners will not be used for FCRA-covered purposes.

  • Employment, promotion, discipline, or firing decisions
  • Tenant screening, lease approval, or housing eligibility
  • Creditworthiness, loan terms, insurance pricing, or insurance eligibility

Outside Websites and Tools

The site may link to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, VINE, BOP, ICE, legal-information, and third-party search resources. Those websites are controlled by their own operators. We do not endorse, control, or guarantee their data, fees, privacy practices, availability, search results, or terms of use.

The site and its content are provided as is and as available. No warranty is made about the following points.

  • Accuracy, completeness, or current status of any record, link, phone number, address, or procedure
  • Continuous access or uninterrupted uptime
  • Operation without errors, software bugs, vulnerabilities, or security issues
  • Completeness or usefulness of third-party search results

Custody status, charges, release decisions, public-record access, and court schedules can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office, the Dickinson County Correctional Center, MDOC, a court, or any government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Dickinson County Inmate Population and its owners, operators, affiliates, content providers, and advertising partners are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, inability to use the site, reliance on site content, use of linked resources, or actions taken after viewing information here.

The site's text, page structure, graphics, logos, code, and other original materials belong to Dickinson County Inmate Population or its content partners unless another source is identified. You may not copy, republish, sell, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without written permission.

These terms may be updated at any time. Revised terms take effect when posted on this page, and continued use of the site after posting means you accept the updated version.


Access May Be Revoked

We may limit, suspend, block, or revoke access to the site at any time, for any reason, without advance notice. This includes access that appears automated, abusive, unlawful, disruptive, or inconsistent with these terms.


Michigan Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute related to the site must be brought in a court located in Michigan unless a mandatory law requires a different venue. Public-record references on this site are informational and should be read in the context of Michigan's Freedom of Information Act, including MCL 15.231 and the exemption provisions in MCL 15.243.


Severability

If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The invalid part should be modified only as much as needed to make it enforceable while preserving the original intent as closely as possible.
