Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to Eddy County Released Inmates and its links, search features, and reference material. Using any part of the site means you agree to follow these terms. If you do not accept every condition, do not use the site. The terms apply whether you browse a page, follow a government-resource link, or submit a query to a third-party search provider.

Private reference resource: Eddy County Released Inmates is privately owned and is not connected with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It helps users locate Eddy County and New Mexico custody and release resources. Neither this site nor its advertising partners is a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency, and neither offers services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act-covered purpose.


Nature of the Service

This is a private reference site. It has no authority over Eddy County Detention Center, the Eddy County Sheriff, Artesia Police, NMCD, the New Mexico courts, VINELink, BOP, ICE, or any probation or parole office. It cannot confirm a current custody status, order or carry out a release, file a court paper, change an official entry, or answer for a public records custodian.

The site directs users toward official inmate, jail, release, court, supervision, state, federal, and immigration resources. It may also connect users with third-party research tools. No official roster, release packet, court file, or corrections record is stored here.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site lawfully and without harming other people, the service, or its providers. In particular, you must not:

  • use the site or its information to violate any law;
  • stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm another person;
  • make hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other regulated eligibility decisions from site content;
  • seek access to accounts, servers, code, or data without authorization;
  • run automated bots, crawlers, scrapers, or bulk-query tools; or
  • interfere with the site, overload it, or prevent others from using it.

No Consumer Reports

Eddy County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not furnish background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertisers and search partners do not provide screening services through this site. By using the service, you agree not to use any content, result, or linked data for:

  • hiring, firing, promotion, or another employment decision;
  • tenant selection, rental approval, or other housing screening;
  • creditworthiness, lending, debt terms, or insurance premiums;
  • licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
  • any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

External Websites and Services

Links may lead to Eddy County release records, sheriff or detention pages, NMCD resources, New Mexico courts, legal-aid information, federal locators, immigration tools, and outside search providers. A link does not mean the destination is endorsed. We do not control those sites, their content, their data practices, their fees, or their availability. Review each destination’s terms and privacy notice before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The site and every part of its content are supplied “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties. We do not promise:

  • that information is accurate, complete, or current;
  • that the service will remain available without interruption;
  • that pages, code, or systems will be free from errors or security flaws; or
  • that a partner search will return every relevant or correct result.

Custody, release, court, probation, parole, and transfer information changes. A public portal may also lag or omit records. Nothing displayed here is an official statement from the Eddy County Sheriff, ECDC, NMCD, a court, or another government agency. Under New Mexico’s Inspection of Public Records Act, official public-record access questions belong to the public custodian that holds the record.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Eddy County Released Inmates, its owners, contributors, service providers, and partners will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on the site or any linked resource. This limit applies even when the possibility of harm was known.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Eddy County Released Inmates, its owners, contributors, providers, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of the site or your violation of these terms. This obligation includes reasonable legal fees and costs.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless a page identifies another owner, the original text, graphics, logos, arrangement, and code used by Eddy County Released Inmates belong to the site or its content partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without prior written permission. Government records and linked agency materials remain subject to their own ownership and use rules.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time. The new terms become effective when posted on this page. Continued use after a revision means you accept the updated version.


Suspension or Loss of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to some or all of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice. This right includes action taken in response to misuse, security risk, excessive automated traffic, or a breach of these terms.


New Mexico Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning the site or these terms must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in New Mexico.


Severability of Terms

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only to the extent needed to make it valid and enforceable.
