This privately owned site has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service. It is not a private investigator or consumer reporting agency, and its content cannot be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenancy, or another regulated decision.
Nature of the Website
Winona County Released Inmates is a private reference service with no ties to a public office. It stores no official jail, court, or corrections records and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, accept filings, or change a government record.
Its pages point toward Winona County and Minnesota record sources and may connect visitors with outside research tools.

No Consumer Reports

Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to release records, Sheriff and corrections systems, courts, legal resources, federal locators, or outside search tools. A link is not an endorsement. This site does not control an outside service’s content, data practices, terms, accuracy, or availability.
Service Without Warranties
All content and functions are offered “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that:
- Details are accurate, complete, or current
- The site will operate without interruption
- Code is free of defects or security weaknesses
- A partner tool will return complete results
Custody and public-record data can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement by Winona County, the Sheriff, a court, or Minnesota DOC.
Limits of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside service.

Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when posted, and later use of the site is subject to that version.
Ending or Limiting Access
Access may be suspended, restricted, or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
Minnesota Governing Law
Minnesota law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Minnesota.
