Franklin County Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you browse or use Franklin County Recent Arrests. Continuing to use the website means you agree to them. If you do not accept these conditions, please stop using the site.

This privately owned site has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides FCRA-covered credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. We are not investigators or a consumer reporting agency. We only help visitors locate Franklin County and Alabama custody-record resources.


The Nature of This Site

Franklin County Recent Arrests is a private reference resource, not an official agency. It holds no government records and cannot verify custody, release anyone, or file documents.

The site points visitors toward Franklin County jail and inmate resources and may connect them to third-party research tools. Alabama Code §36-12-40 governs qualifying requests to Alabama public custodians, not access to this private guide.

  • Do not try to gain unauthorized access to any system.
  • Do not deploy bots, scrapers, or automated harvesting tools.
  • Do not interfere with the website or another visitor’s access.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do our advertising partners. You agree not to use information from this site for an FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection or any housing decision
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility

Websites Operated by Others

Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid resources, booking feeds, and outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control those sites, their privacy practices, their availability, or their content, so review their terms before use.


Service Provided As Is

The website and its content are supplied “as is” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee:

  • That information is accurate, complete, or current
  • That access will always be uninterrupted
  • That the site is free of defects or security weaknesses
  • That a partner search will return every relevant result

Custody and public-record information changes often. Nothing shown here is an official statement from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office or another government agency.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Franklin County Recent Arrests and its operators are not liable for losses or damages that arise from access to, reliance on, or inability to use this site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

Suspension or Loss of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or end access to the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Alabama Law Applies

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary.
