Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Winston County Inmate Population. If you do not agree to them, do not use the site, its links, or any third-party search tools reached through its pages.

Winston County Inmate Population is privately owned and is not affiliated with Winston County, Sheriff Mike Perkins, the Winston-Choctaw County Regional Correctional Facility, MDOC, any court, or any police department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide consumer reports, background checks, or services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or other FCRA-covered purposes.

What the Site Provides

This is a private reference site. It does not store official jail rosters, booking records, court dockets, mugshots, warrants, or MDOC records, and it cannot confirm custody status, release a person, post bond, or file a public-records request for a visitor.

The site points readers toward Winston County inmate and jail-record resources, including the Winston County Sheriff page, the WCCRCF page, the MDOC inmate search, facility pages, court contacts, and third-party research tools.

Acceptable Use

  • Do not use the site for any unlawful purpose.
  • Do not use information found here to stalk, harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone.
  • Do not make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or similar eligibility decisions based on site content.
  • Do not attempt to access systems, files, or data without authorization.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
  • Do not disrupt, overload, or interfere with the site or another visitor's use of it.

No Consumer Reporting Use

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, investigative consumer reports, or screening reports. By using the site, you agree that information found here or through partner tools will not be used for:

  • Employment, firing, promotion, or volunteer-screening decisions.
  • Tenant screening or other housing decisions.
  • Creditworthiness, lending, insurance rates, or insurance eligibility.
  • Licensing, permits, benefits, or government-program eligibility.
  • Any other decision regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Links

The site links to sheriff, jail, MDOC, court, public-records, federal locator, and third-party search resources. Those websites are not endorsed or controlled by this site, and their content, uptime, fees, privacy policies, and terms may change without notice.

No Warranties

The site is provided as is and as available. No warranty is made that:

  • Information is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose.
  • The site will be uninterrupted or available at all times.
  • The site will be free from errors, bugs, or security issues.
  • Search partner results will be complete or match official government records.

Custody status, bond information, public-records access, and court filings change often. Nothing on this site is an official statement from Winston County, MDOC, a court, or a law-enforcement agency.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Winston County Inmate Population and its operators are not liable for damages, losses, claims, or expenses arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, use of linked websites, or inability to access any page or partner tool.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, your misuse of information, or your violation of these terms.

Intellectual Property

The text, layout, graphics, logo, code, and other site materials belong to Winston County Inmate Population or its content partners, except for public-domain government materials and linked third-party content. Copying, distributing, modifying, or republishing site materials without written permission is not allowed.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. Revised terms take effect when posted on this page, and continued use of the site means the revised terms are accepted.

Access to the Site

Access may be limited, suspended, or blocked at any time and for any reason, including suspected misuse, automated scraping, security concerns, or violations of these terms.

Mississippi Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi. Any dispute must be filed in a court located in Mississippi, unless applicable law requires a different forum.

Severability

If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The invalid part will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make the terms enforceable.

Questions

Questions about these terms may be routed through the Contacts page. Public records held by a Mississippi public body remain subject to that body's procedures under laws such as the Mississippi Public Records Act and Section 25-61-5.
